About Assunta
Assunta Mariosa is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. Assunta also supports people facing issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image worries and isolation. She speaks English and Italian and accepts international clients.
Assunta works in a straightforward, client-focused way. Sessions focus on talking through immediate problems, noticing unhelpful patterns and finding small, practical steps forward. She uses approaches drawn from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to guide discussions and tools. That means attention to how relationships shape feelings, a focus on the person's experience, and practical techniques to test and change thoughts and behaviours.
People often come to Assunta when life feels stalled after a relationship change, a midlife shift, or struggles at work. She helps with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and the strain of isolation or loneliness. Assunta also supports those wrestling with life purpose questions and men's issues in conversation and reflection.
Sessions are conversational and aimed at clarity. Assunta encourages people to name the problem first, then explore where it comes from. She uses short tools when helpful, such as behavioural experiments or noticing attachment patterns between people.
Her practical style aims to make the work feel manageable. If someone wants to begin, the next step is to use the site's matching process and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour. It helps when problems show up around trust, abandonment or emotional closeness by naming interaction patterns and their effects.Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. It focuses on listening, reflection and helping people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions, which can suit those unsure about next steps or life purpose.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test thinking patterns, reduce panic or anxiety, and change habits that fuel depression or eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
