Assunta Mariosa, BACP

Assunta Mariosa offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and depression. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose and midlife crisis. She welcomes conversations in English and Italian and works with international clients from the United Kingdom.

Assunta draws on client-centred methods to build an open space for talking. That means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on helping them feel heard. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when people want practical ways to manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

In sessions she encourages clear, straightforward conversation. People are helped to name unhelpful patterns and try small changes between meetings. Work might include looking at communication skills, coping plans for panic or anxiety, and ways to rebuild self-worth after hurt or loss.

Her background notes four years of professional experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Assunta invites clients to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Sessions are arranged to fit around people’s lives and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients should follow the Start Therapy button to complete the questionnaire and schedule a session according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect present patterns. It helps people understand connection and trust issues and how these shape reactions in adult life. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pacing to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Assunta will help explore which combination feels most helpful based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change over time as progress is reviewed.

The original profile does not list specific online formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also help people keep regular appointments while living overseas, since international clients are accepted.
