Rosie Gibbs

Rosie Gibbs is a counsellor who focuses on helping people handle strong emotions like anger, stress and anxiety. She offers calm, steady listening and a straightforward space to talk when life feels overwhelming. Rosie aims to make the first step feel less daunting and to help people find ways to cope day to day.

Rosie works at a pace the client chooses, using practical conversation and reflective listening to untangle what feels most urgent. She often helps people who are facing grief, relationship strain, low confidence or major life changes. Sessions are framed so clients can explore feelings without pressure and build small, realistic steps forward.

With 12 years of experience, Rosie draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships. She also uses client-centred and dialectical ideas to balance acceptance and change.

Rosie has BACP and NCPS credentials and works from the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar and ADHD related concerns among other issues. She is experienced with abandonment and attachment-related worries as well as long-term illness and chronic pain.

If someone prefers to meet online, Rosie is open to international clients. To begin, readers can use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions at a suitable time.

How Rosie’s approaches translate to online work

Rosie often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and helps people try different actions to change how they feel.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach can be useful when relationship worries or intimacy issues are causing repeated problems. Together, these methods aim to balance acceptance of difficult feelings with practical ways to change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rosie will discuss options and adapt methods to fit each person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision made early in therapy and reassessed as needs change.

If you prefer online sessions, please check which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter check-ins during breaks. Some people find phone or video sessions helpful when they want shorter or more flexible contacts; others prefer longer conversations. Confirm the available session options so you can plan what suits everyday life.
