About Assunta

Assunta Mariosa is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She also supports those dealing with trauma, eating concerns and depression, and addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, body image and panic attacks. Her approach is welcoming and down-to-earth for someone taking a first step towards help.

She aims to make the room feel like a place where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgement. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding practical ways to reduce distress. Assunta uses straightforward conversation alongside methods that help people notice patterns in thinking and relating.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. She also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s priorities at the centre. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when it is helpful to gently test and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Assunta holds BACP registration, and she has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and Italian, and she accepts international clients. The focus is on collaborating with each person to set clear, achievable goals.

People who choose to work with her can expect calm, practical conversations and step-by-step planning. She encourages small changes that make daily life feel more manageable and supports clients as they practise new ways of coping between meetings.

How her approaches can work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions can help people notice relationship patterns and practise different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and experience, giving space to speak and be heard while the counsellor follows the person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot automatic thoughts and test them with small experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Assunta will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they stay relevant to the person’s needs.

The main practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into everyday life more easily. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to schedule brief check-ins around work or family routines.
