About Stefan

Stefan Nowosielski is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. He works with adults dealing with relationship problems, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles and life changes. He also supports people facing grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and parenting.

Stefan uses a person-centred approach as his core way of working. He combines that with elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, emotionally-focused and existential ideas to help people think through what feels stuck. Sessions focus on clear conversation about what is happening now and practical steps a person can try between meetings.

Stefan has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including addiction, OCD, workplace stress, bereavement and sexual trauma. He also works with people facing family pressures, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns and the aftermath of separation. The aim is to make small, manageable changes that fit everyday life.

In sessions he listens for how someone experiences things and helps them name patterns that keep them stuck. He encourages people to try different ways of responding and notices what changes. He also offers mindfulness and narrative techniques for stress and anxiety symptoms.

Stefan describes his practice as respectful and direct. He works with adults from diverse backgrounds and identities. To begin, he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to agree goals and next steps.

How Stefan’s approaches work for online sessions

Client-centred work starts by focusing on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens and reflects back what matters, helping people name feelings and patterns that get in the way. This approach helps when someone feels stuck or unsure how to start making changes.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviours and feelings together. It offers simple experiments and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, shift low mood and manage stress. CBT can be useful for sleep problems, work stress and worry about the future.

Emotionally-focused ideas concentrate on how emotions shape relationships and attachment. This can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems and feeling disconnected from others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stefan will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, and together they will decide which methods to try. The choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can be easier to fit into study, work and everyday routines and they can reduce travel time. Some formats also make short check-ins or phone-only meetings possible when that suits the person’s day.
