About me
I’m Rosa Stevens, a warm and experienced Counsellor based in Holywood, dedicated to creating a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel truly heard and supported. My greatest aim is to help you discover who you truly are and to reconnect with your authentic self. I understand how difficult it can be to face life’s challenges alone, and I’m here to walk with you on your journey toward self-discovery, healing, and growth.
My approach is integrative and personalised, blending techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), humanistic, person-centred, psychodynamic, and coaching methods. This flexible framework allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply longing for deeper self-understanding and purpose. Working together, we’ll explore your inner world, helping you uncover your true values, strengths, and the genuine person beneath layers of doubt or pain.
I offer sessions both in-person in Holywood and online, making my support accessible to clients across Northern Ireland and beyond. I work with adults from all backgrounds and respect the individual story that each person brings.
At the heart of my practice is building genuine connection and trust. I listen with empathy and without judgement, empowering you to embrace your authentic self and make positive, lasting changes.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and reconnect with who you really are, I invite you to visit my website.

Practice description
My counselling practice is guided by a deep commitment to conscious awareness, presence, and genuine connection. The moment you step into my centrally located room in Holywood, you will encounter a peaceful, nurturing space designed for mindful reflection and growth. Every aspect of the room, from the calming colours and gentle lighting to the comfortable seating, invites openness and trust.
At the core of my work is an understanding that every client brings their own unique experiences and inner wisdom. I foster a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns. My approach is collaborative and attuned, aiming to empower you to deepen self-understanding, enhance resilience, and make conscious choices that align with your values.
Clients can expect a confidential relationship built on empathy and respect, where each session is tailored to support their journey with presence and care. I believe healing flourishes when we honour the present moment and embrace authentic connection, paving the way for meaningful change and personal fulfilment.
My first session
To ensure your first session proceeds smoothly and supports your journey from the outset, once you book the 30-minute initial assessment through my website, you will receive an online assessment form, a measuring tool, and a contract. This allows you to review and complete these documents at your own pace prior to our meeting.
Taking this time to reflect and share your initial thoughts and goals helps establish a solid foundation for a focused and meaningful first session. These tools enable me to understand your expectations and identify any immediate concerns that may require attention, always prioritising your safety. This preparation allows us to begin our work together by genuinely exploring what you hope to achieve through therapy. This careful approach gently eases you into the therapeutic relationship and ensures our sessions are tailored to your unique needs from the very beginning, all with no obligations.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
