About Rosemary
Rosemary Cottam is a counsellor with seven years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress and anxiety and on helping people who are coping with trauma, low self esteem and depression. She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion as they begin therapy.
Rosemary adapts the conversation and the plan to each person. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the individual and their current challenges.
Background and approach
She encourages small, practical steps that can make day to day life feel more manageable. Her work often addresses motivation, confidence and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with addictions, grief or difficulties with sleep and eating.
Relationship and family concerns are included among the issues she can help talk through. Rosemary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to a person’s needs. She balances direct support with space to reflect so clients can build new ways of thinking and acting.
The emphasis is on collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Sessions are offered in English and Rosemary accepts international clients. She encourages anyone who is ready to take a step towards change to reach out and begin a conversation about what they want to work on.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Rosemary works with practical, evidence-based techniques that aim to reduce distress and build coping skills. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns so anxiety and low mood feel less overwhelming; this involves noticing automatic thoughts and practising alternative ways of thinking. Another approach emphasises skills for managing stress and emotions through short exercises and behavioural experiments that help people test new habits and responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. She will ask about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest methods to try. The aim is a collaborative plan that fits your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see non-verbal cues and have longer sessions, phone sessions can fit into busy days and use less bandwidth, while live chat or text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and adjust how you meet to suit life commitments.
