Rosanna Waitt , NCPS

Rosanna Waitt is a person-centred therapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom, holding the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification. With three years of clinical experience, she brings both formal training and personal insight to her work, having navigated her own experiences of trauma and recovery.

Her practice is grounded in the person-centred philosophy, emphasising empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence - meaning she listens without judgement, accepts clients as they are, and strives to be genuine in the therapeutic relationship. This approach aims to create a trusting partnership in which exploration of past and present pain can lead to greater understanding, integration, and emotional healing.

Rosanna offers telephone and online counselling as part of how she works with people, providing options for clients to engage from their own environments. She understands the initial steps into therapy can feel daunting, and she moves at a pace tailored to each person. Please note that Rosanna is not currently accepting new clients.

Person-centred approaches and online therapy options

Client-centred therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship in which the client is seen and heard. It involves attentive, non-judgemental listening and an emphasis on clients discovering their own resources for growth and healing. This approach is useful for issues such as trauma, grief, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges because it prioritises the person’s experience and pace of change.

Central features of the person-centred way include offering empathy and unconditional positive regard - listening in a way that validates feelings and encourages self-exploration - and congruence, where the therapist aims to be authentic and transparent. These elements help clients feel understood and supported as they work through complex emotions and past experiences.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust the way of working so it fits the person. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for scheduling, reduces travel time, and allows people to engage from places where they feel comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these online methods to maintain continuity of care while adapting to each client’s circumstances.
