About Stefan
Stefan Nowosielski is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. He works with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or carrying difficult feelings such as guilt and shame. Stefan sees people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and major life changes.
He practices a person-centred way of working and combines that with methods from cognitive behavioural therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness and existential approaches. Sessions aim to help people understand their reactions and patterns, and make clearer choices about what to do next. Stefan uses practical strategies alongside reflective listening.
Clients come with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting and sleeping problems. He also supports people facing career stress, problems with intimacy, ADHD-related struggles and issues tied to family roles such as fatherhood or blended family tensions. Guilt and shame are named focus areas he will address in sessions.
In sessions he listens for how someone views their situation and then helps them notice different options. Work can include identifying thoughts that keep problems going, practising grounding and mindfulness exercises, or mapping out steps to change interactions with others. He also uses elements of transactional analysis and solution-focused strategies when useful.
Stefan offers a straightforward, human-centred approach. He encourages people to make their own decisions about change and to build clearer self-understanding as part of that process. To begin, people are asked to select the online therapy option and complete a short questionnaire before booking a first session.
How Stefan uses talking therapies online
Client-centred work puts the person's perspective first, with the therapist following what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone is carrying guilt or shame because sessions begin by hearing how the experience feels and where it affects daily life.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. In online sessions this can involve noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them out and practising different responses between meetings. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and name core emotions and how those feelings shape relationships; it can be useful for intimacy-related issues and attachment worries.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Stefan will discuss goals and preferences and agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps people pick practical steps they can use between sessions.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel, or allow for short check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices and emotion-focused conversations to work well in remote sessions while helping people progress at a manageable pace.
