About Stefan
Stefan Nowosielski uses a person-centred approach to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. He offers calm, practical conversations that focus on what matters to the client. Stefan is a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings four years of experience to his work.
He draws on familiar methods including client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused ideas and mindfulness. These tools are used to help with mood, anxiety, stress and coping with major life changes.
Background and approach
Stefan explains things plainly and helps people try small changes between sessions. His practice covers a wide range of concerns such as relationship worries, self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and addictions. He also helps with parenting-related stress, sleep problems, career concerns and ADHD-related challenges.
Stefan pays attention to how life events affect daily routines and relationships. Sessions aim to increase understanding and practical choices rather than offering quick fixes. Stefan listens for each person’s perspective and works collaboratively to set realistic goals.
He emphasises warmth, honesty and respect in the counselling room. People meet him for short-term focused work or for longer conversations about direction and meaning. He supports adults from diverse backgrounds and cultures and uses approaches that fit the client’s goals and pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy is about being heard and seen. Online sessions focus on careful listening and follow the person’s pace to identify what matters. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and helps people try practical experiments between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.Stefan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will talk through options and test what helps most based on the person’s goals and preferences. That means adjusting methods and pace as the work progresses, so clients help shape the therapy rather than being given a fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which bring practical benefits. Video allows face-to-face conversation when a normal schedule makes travel difficult. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflections or times when writing feels easier than talking.
Many people find the variety of formats makes therapy more flexible and easier to maintain alongside parenting, work and other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to match rhythm, availability and the kind of work each person prefers.
