Assunta Mariosa, BACP

Assunta Mariosa helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. She offers a calm presence and a practical way of talking things through. Sessions are held in English and Italian. Assunta works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.

She aims to make the therapy room feel open and non-judgemental. People are invited to bring whatever is on their mind. Assunta listens and helps to name patterns, emotional reactions and unhelpful thoughts. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness.

Her background includes four years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience has involved helping people manage panic, post-traumatic stress, abandonment and attachment difficulties, and challenges with self-worth and body image.

Assunta draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural tools. She uses these approaches to help people understand how past relationships shape current feelings, to offer space for being heard, and to try practical steps that reduce distress.

Sessions focus on small, realistic changes and on building skills for day-to-day life. People coming for help often work on communication problems, guilt or shame, life direction and coping after separation. Assunta encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships influence feelings and reactions today, helping people understand patterns in closeness and trust and how these affect current relationships. Client-centred therapy centres on being heard without judgement and helps people find their own answers through careful listening and reflection. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress and offers practical strategies to change those patterns.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That discussion guides whether the focus is more on understanding relationship patterns, on supportive listening, or on step-by-step behavioural change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy lives and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to arrange a short check-in during a lunch break or to meet from a location that suits the day.
