About Rosemarie

Rosemarie Savage is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, and with those wanting to build confidence or motivation. Her style is straightforward and respectful, with a focus on what a person can do now to manage hard moments.

She follows a client-centred approach that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on listening first, then on identifying practical steps that fit daily life. Mindfulness tools are offered to help calm the body and mind when anxiety or intrusive memories feel overwhelming.

Rosemarie also integrates somatic methods, which pay attention to physical reactions such as a racing heart or tense muscles. That can help people notice patterns and try small experiments in how they sit, breathe or move during stressful moments. Trauma-focused ways of working are used when past events keep affecting current life, with care to go at a pace that feels manageable.

She is experienced with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including relationship strain, addiction, sleep problems and long-term health challenges. She notes particular work around attachment, abandonment and caring responsibilities, and supports issues relating to gender and sexual identity.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session. Rosemarie aims to be practical and clear about next steps so people can see what a few sessions might look like.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Rosemarie uses client-centred work and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy means the session focuses on the person’s priorities, with the counsellor listening and helping to shape practical steps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce the immediate intensity of anxiety and improve focus.

She also brings somatic awareness into remote work, helping people notice bodily signs of stress and try small in-the-moment adjustments such as breath pacing or gentle movement. These methods can make it easier to spot triggers and test ways of responding without increasing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rosemarie will discuss what feels most helpful during the first sessions and adapt methods to fit a person’s goals and preferences. The collaboration aims to pick techniques that are manageable to use between sessions.

Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit counselling around everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday or avoiding the need to be on camera for the whole session. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help counselling fit into busy schedules.
