About Assunta

Assunta Mariosa helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. She uses a collaborative, client-centred way of working and brings four years of professional experience. Assunta is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She works by listening first and checking what each person wants from counselling. Sessions focus on understanding current struggles and on practical steps to manage symptoms day to day. Conversations may cover patterns in relationships, feelings about the body, and responses to past hurt.

Assunta draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections. She also uses client-centred methods that put the person’s experience at the heart of the work. Cognitive behavioural approaches are used where thinking and behaviour patterns are linked to anxiety, panic or low mood.

Sessions are conducted in English and Italian, and she accepts people seeking help from outside the UK. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Assunta aims to help people reduce distress and clarify their goals. She supports exploration of issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, guilt and shame, and midlife or men’s concerns. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication are common parts of the work.

Working online with attachment, client-centred and CBT approaches

Assunta uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections; this can help when trust, abandonment or repeated relationship difficulties are a concern. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to clarify thoughts and feelings and help set goals. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and is often used for panic, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Assunta will discuss which methods suit an individual, and she works collaboratively to decide what to try first based on a person’s needs and preferences. The style can shift over time as goals change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study and family life, and they can reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone when attention or bandwidth is limited, while others choose longer conversations that allow more exploration. Registered or accredited professionals offer these variations to help counselling fit everyday routines.
