Stefan Nowosielski, BACP

Stefan Nowosielski works from a person-centred framework that keeps the client at the heart of sessions. He uses plain conversation and steady listening to help people untangle difficult feelings. Stefan aims to make space for what matters and to help people find a way forward that fits their life.

He brings four years of practice to a range of concerns. Stefan supports people with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, addiction and trauma-related problems. He also addresses challenges such as sleep problems, parenting pressures, workplace stress and issues linked to ADHD and bereavement.

His work blends client-centred principles with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness. Emotionally-focused ideas and narrative perspectives also appear in sessions when they help people make sense of painful experiences. Stefan prefers clear, straightforward talks and small, doable steps rather than jargon-heavy plans.

People meeting him can expect time to reflect and to name what is hard. He aims to listen without judgement and to help clients notice patterns that get in the way. The focus is on building understanding and on practical choices the person can act on between meetings.

Stefan is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works with adults from diverse backgrounds in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people follow the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How Stefan’s approaches translate to online counselling

Stefan combines a person-centred way of working with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused ideas to help people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression and trauma-related distress. Client-centred work means sessions concentrate on what matters to the person and on being heard. Cognitive behavioural elements offer practical tools to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Emotionally-focused ideas help people notice and name strong feelings in the context of relationships and attachment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Stefan will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and daily life. He aims to adapt what happens in sessions according to each person's needs, preferences and pace, so the plan can change as progress unfolds.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments and to use quieter surroundings for reflection. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, so people know what to expect and can plan appointments that suit their routines.
