About Alessio
BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. Alessio Tonato helps people address stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related issues using talk-based therapy in English, French and Italian.
He focuses on building awareness of how thoughts, feelings and bodily responses link together. Sessions look at patterns such as avoidance, codependency, control issues and attachment difficulties. Alessio supports people navigating career changes, family problems, separation and responses to trauma and abuse.
His work combines attachment-based thinking, mindfulness and somatic approaches. That means paying attention to relationship patterns, practising present-moment awareness and noticing bodily signals that influence mood and behaviour. Conversations aim to uncover repetitive habits and offer different ways of responding.
Alessio works in a dialogic manner, encouraging honest, reflective discussion about what is happening now and what people want to change. He helps clients identify small, practical steps to test alternatives in everyday life and in relationships.
Clients can expect direct, clear sessions that connect feelings, behaviours and goals. Alessio describes his practice as supportive of professional and personal development, with a focus on greater self-awareness and more workable choices.

How his approaches are used in online sessions
Alessio uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and present relationships shape current reactions. This helps when relationship patterns, commitment issues or attachment concerns are causing distress.He also draws on mindfulness practice to increase moment-to-moment awareness of thoughts and feelings. That can help with anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions. Somatic work involves noticing bodily sensations and how they connect to emotion and behaviour, which can be useful for trauma responses and anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alessio treats approach selection as collaborative: he explores the client’s needs, goals and preferences and adjusts methods as those needs become clearer. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches depending on what is helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more flexible check-ins when that suits practical life demands. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to help sessions fit into daily routines.
