About Assunta

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 4 years of experience, Assunta Mariosa helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and depression. She speaks English and Italian and accepts international clients. The first paragraph should give a clear sense of her focus and how she engages people.

Assunta aims to make sessions straightforward and conversational. She invites people to talk about what feels most urgent. She listens for patterns around attachment, control, and communication, then works with clients to identify practical, manageable steps. Sessions often look at how past relationships affect present feelings and behaviours.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She uses client-centred methods to follow the client’s lead and prioritise their concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding.

Assunta also addresses issues tied to body image, self-blame, guilt, and isolation. She supports people dealing with divorce, separation, midlife questions, and men’s issues. Panic symptoms and post-traumatic stress are within her stated focus areas as well.

People can expect a practical tone in sessions. Conversations usually move between describing problems, noticing repetitive reactions, and trying small experiments to change them. The aim is clearer thinking and more usable coping strategies rather than jargon.

To begin, prospective clients follow the platform flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Session costs vary by location and operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships. It helps identify how early or current attachments affect trust, intimacy and reactions to stress. This can be useful for relationship concerns, abandonment worries, and persistent communication problems.

Client-centred therapy keeps the person’s priorities central. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what is said, and focuses on building clearer self-understanding. This approach suits people who want a space to talk things through without a fixed agenda.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviours that maintain anxiety or low mood. It involves simple experiments and practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and develop new coping strategies.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Assunta will discuss the options with each person and decide together which approaches match their needs, goals and preferences. This is collaborative rather than fixed, and can change as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can allow therapy to fit around work and family routines, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep shorter or more frequent check-ins. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to help people fit therapy into everyday life.
