Stefan Nowosielski, BACP

Stefan Nowosielski is a counsellor who works in a person-centred way. He combines that approach with practical tools to help people unravel what is causing them stress or pain and decide what to change next. Stefan is a member of the BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

He focuses on everyday problems like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and depression. He also helps people facing relationship difficulties, parenting stress, career uncertainty and the upheaval that can come in midlife. Stefan aims to create space for people to talk honestly about what matters to them.

In sessions he uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas alongside a person-centred stance. That mix is used to notice unhelpful thoughts, practice calmer ways of responding, and look at the emotions beneath difficult patterns. He explains techniques plainly and works at a pace that suits each person.

He has four years of experience supporting adults with a wide range of concerns, including trauma-related difficulties, addiction, sleep problems and obsessive patterns. He treats each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis and prioritises listening first.

People who choose to work with Stefan can expect direct but warm conversations and straightforward strategies to try between sessions. He encourages clients to build small practical steps that fit into daily life and to review progress together as therapy continues.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Stefan combines person-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness practices to support people online. Person-centred work means giving the client time to tell their story while the counsellor listens and reflects. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and trying new responses to reduce distress. Mindfulness helps people become calmer and more present by practising simple attention exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to test which methods feel most helpful for their goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together so sessions fit individual needs.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or letting someone choose a quieter room rather than commuting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and grounding practices for remote sessions so clients can keep making progress between meetings.
