About Demelza
Demelza (Demi) Rowe is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, anger, eating and sleeping problems, and life changes such as separation or career shifts. Demi brings 16 years of practice to each conversation and holds BACP registration.
Demi uses a straightforward, warm style in sessions. She focuses on listening first and then helping clients understand what is happening and why.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to be clear and practical so people leave with tools they can try between sessions. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding.
She also uses client-centred listening to make space for the person in front of her. Demi often includes mindfulness and solution-focused steps when those fit the client’s goals. This means short practices to calm the mind and focused tasks to move problems forward.
The aim is to build small changes that add up over time. People come to Demi for a range of concerns including intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue and LGBT matters. She explains approaches in plain language and co‑creates a plan so each person knows the focus and next steps.

Approaches that translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns in close connections. This approach can be useful for clients who want to understand why they react strongly in certain situations and to try new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It uses short experiments and practical tasks to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties. Client-centred therapy gives people space to be heard without judgement and supports building self-understanding and confidence.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, preferences and day-to-day realities. That means adapting exercises and pace so they feel doable and relevant.
Online work offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter updates or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around family life, work and other commitments while using the approaches above in practical, goal‑focused ways.
