About Stefan

Stefan Nowosielski is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with people facing relationship strain, family and blended household concerns, anxiety, depression and life changes. Stefan also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction and issues around self-esteem and parenting.

He uses a person-centred approach as the foundation of his work. That means conversations focus on the client's experience and what matters to them. He combines this with elements of cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, emotionally-focused ideas and existential thinking to help people make sense of difficult moments.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Stefan helps people identify patterns, try small changes and notice what does or does not help. He uses techniques to manage unhelpful thoughts, to reduce stress and to improve communication skills when that is needed.

He has supported people with bereavement, workplace stress, OCD, depression, trauma and self-harm among other concerns. Stefan aims to listen carefully, reflect back what is heard and work collaboratively so clients can make decisions that suit their life.

People looking for support are asked to follow the online booking steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Stefan draws on person-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to structure online conversations. Person-centred work means the therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings to the session, helping them clarify what matters most. CBT provides practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

He also uses emotionally-focused ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive interaction. These approaches are useful for relationship strain, blended household tensions and communication problems because they combine attention to feelings with concrete skills to change day-to-day responses.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to fit the client's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied profile, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work around appointments, reduce travel and allow shorter, focused check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets to suit an online session.
