Assunta Mariosa

Assunta Mariosa is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, and depression. She works in English and Italian and brings four years of professional experience to sessions. Assunta aims to make the first step easier for anyone who feels unsure about starting therapy.

Her approach centres on creating an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be said out loud. She listens closely and helps people name what they are feeling. Conversations are practical and down to earth, with time to explore what matters most to each person.

Assunta draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used when looking at specific patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to distress.

Sessions often involve talking through recent events, identifying unhelpful thinking, and trying small changes between meetings. Assunta tends to work at a steady, collaborative pace so people can feel understood and try new ways of coping.

She welcomes people who want support with body image, control issues, guilt and shame, panic attacks, isolation, life purpose, and related concerns. If you are thinking about starting, Assunta encourages a brief match check so the work can begin in a way that fits your needs.

How Assunta’s approaches translate to online work

Assunta uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns, which can help when dealing with relationship problems, trust issues, or abandonment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy is about following the person’s lead and making space for what matters most to them, offering steady support for depression, isolation, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on linking thoughts, feelings and actions and is useful for anxiety, panic and changing unhelpful habits.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and exercises fit their needs and goals, and will adjust the plan as things move forward. It is a shared process rather than a fixed prescription.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, cut travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when days are busy. It also allows people to work with a therapist who speaks English or Italian even if they live elsewhere. Discuss practical preferences during the initial matching steps so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
