About Assunta
Assunta Mariosa helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties and depression. She greets new clients with a calm, non-judgemental approach and encourages small first steps. Her manner is warm and straightforward so people feel heard from the start.
With four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, she draws on client-centred therapy to put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening closely and shaping the work around each person’s priorities. She also uses elements from attachment-based approaches to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit when practical strategies are needed. She will help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour and try out simple ways to shift them. This can be useful for panic, low mood, and anxiety-driven habits.
Assunta pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, shame and guilt, and isolation. She also helps people dealing with divorce, control struggles, communication problems and midlife questions. Her work includes support around life purpose and men’s issues.
Sessions are offered in English and Italian, and she accepts international clients. If you are unsure about starting, she encourages a short matching process to see if her style fits your needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy means the session starts with the person and their concerns. The therapist listens carefully and follows what matters most to you, helping you shape goals and topics. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns, and can help with trust, closeness and communication problems.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It is often used for panic, anxiety and low mood and can include simple exercises to practise between sessions. Together these methods give space for emotional processing and also tools for day-to-day change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which combination of listening and practical techniques fits your needs, goals and preferences. That decision is reviewed as you go so the work stays relevant.
The original biography does not state specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow you to choose quieter surroundings for talking. Some approaches use shorter check-ins or practical worksheets that suit an online rhythm, while others focus on longer conversations depending on what you prefer.
