About Assunta
Counsellor Assunta Mariosa is a BACP member with 4 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Italian, and international clients are accepted.
Assunta uses a straightforward style in sessions. She encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change or understand.
Her main approaches include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Attachment work looks at how past relationships affect current patterns. Client-centred work places the client’s concerns at the centre of the conversation. CBT offers practical ways to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviour.
Assunta often works on issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, body image and communication difficulties. She also supports people with guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. Practical matters like control issues, divorce and separation, and life purpose are included in her caseload.

Approaches used in online counselling and practical benefits
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current reactions. It can help with problems tied to abandonment, trust or repeated relationship conflict.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s concerns at the centre of sessions. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, listening and reflecting to help clarify feelings and choices.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and agree how to proceed. Plans can change if something does not fit, and adjustments are normal as work continues.
The original biography did not list specific session formats. Please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Different ways of meeting can suit quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth, or shorter sessions during a work break.
