About Rosemarie

Rosemarie Savage is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence, and anger. Her approach treats the person as the expert in their own story and starts from their strengths.

She offers straightforward, conversational sessions that focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Conversations explore patterns of thought and behaviour, and build practical ways to respond differently when anger or frustration arise. Mindfulness and body-focused techniques are used to bring attention to physical signs of stress and to slow escalating reactions.

Rosemarie draws on client-centred principles, which mean the client’s priorities shape each session. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are getting in the way of daily life. Somatic work helps people notice and shift tension held in the body, which can reduce the urge to react in heated moments.

Sessions are intended to be plain and practical. Expect to talk through recent incidents, identify triggers, and try simple exercises to test new responses between meetings. The aim is better control over temper and clearer ways to say what matters without shutting down or exploding.

She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session through the service.

Approaches used in online sessions

Client-centred therapy focuses on what the client wants to work on and treats the client as the expert in their life. Sessions centre on the client’s goals and priorities and use listening and reflection to help them clarify next steps.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises to notice thoughts and bodily signals without reacting immediately. It can help reduce reactivity to triggers and lower overall tension that feeds anger.

Somatic therapy brings awareness to physical sensations linked to stress and strong emotions. Practical body-based techniques are used to ease muscle tension and interrupt automatic fight-or-flight responses that can lead to outbursts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively with the client which methods to try, based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as they are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit a meeting into a workday, avoid travel, or choose a shorter check-in when time is limited. Others prefer longer sessions to practise skills in real time. Registered or accredited professionals can suggest the best practical arrangement for each person.
