About Rosemarie

Rosemarie Savage is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and motivation. She draws on five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works from the view that each person knows their own story best. Her tone is practical and encouraging, aimed at people who are nervous about taking the first step towards support.

She works in a client-centred way, listening first to what matters most to the individual. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, achievable steps that build confidence. Mindfulness and somatic approaches are used when helpful, for example to reduce tension, improve sleep, or manage strong emotions.

Rosemarie has supported people through loss, relationship strain, addiction concerns and the effects of long-term health conditions. She also addresses issues linked to identity, such as LGBT and gender dysphoria, and practical life stresses like work or caregiving responsibilities. Her background includes short- and longer-term work with adults facing complex challenges.

In conversation she aims to make things simple and direct. Practical tools, paced reflection and gentle movement or body-awareness exercises may be included according to need. The focus is on building skills that people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and restore routines that support rest and sleep.

Rosemarie is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member, which appears as BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients; session arrangements and fees use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Rosemarie uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches online

Rosemarie draws on client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows what the person brings to each session. The emphasis is on understanding the individual's priorities and working at a pace that feels manageable. This approach helps with decision-making, confidence and coping with life changes.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple grounding and breathing practices. These exercises can help reduce stress, calm the mind before sleep and make strong emotions easier to ride out. When appropriate, somatic techniques add gentle body-awareness work that can ease tension held in the body and support better rest.

Finding the right mix of approaches is typically a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work fits their day-to-day life and priorities.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity when life is hectic or when people live some distance from services. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how your meetings will be arranged.
