About Rosemary
Rosemary Cottam is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She aims to offer sensitive, respectful support and to help clients find clearer ways forward in difficult moments.
Her approach is practical and person-led. Conversations and techniques are tailored to each individual's needs. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, motivation and confidence, addictions, grief and changes in life circumstances.
Background and approach
Rosemary also supports people dealing with relationship and family strain, parenting pressures, anger, sleeping and eating concerns, and attention difficulties linked to ADHD. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to what each person finds most helpful. Sessions are intended to be collaborative.
The focus is on small, achievable steps and on building coping skills that fit daily life. Rosemary aims to create a calm space where people can talk openly and practise new ways of managing stress. She welcomes people from the UK and beyond and offers a range of online session formats.
To begin, a short questionnaire helps match priorities and plan a first session that suits the person’s schedule and goals.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and what feels most helpful. This means plans can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Video is useful for in-depth sessions, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets someone reflect and reply in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel while keeping a steady course of support.
