About Alessio
Alessio Tonato is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He draws on seven years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Alessio works in English, French and Italian and focuses on practical ways to support change in work and personal life.
He uses a holistic approach that aims to raise awareness and invite honest dialogue. Sessions are conversational and experiential, giving space to notice patterns in feelings, thoughts and behaviour. Alessio helps people identify which habits no longer serve them and develop alternative ways of coping.
In practical terms he pays attention to how emotions show up in the body and in relationships. This can make it easier to spot avoidant or dependent patterns, issues around attachment, and problems linked to abandonment or control. He also supports people dealing with anger, guilt, shame and the aftermath of infidelity or separation.
Work with Alessio often includes mindfulness exercises and body-based noticing alongside talking. The aim is to help people become more flexible and confident when facing change. He frames each session around the client’s life goals and what is realistic for them right now.
People who prefer a gentle but active style may find his approach helpful. He encourages curiosity, small experiments and practical steps that can be tried between sessions. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How Alessio’s approaches translate to online work
Alessio uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current connections. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness and commitment issues in everyday life. Mindfulness Therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety and stress. Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and movement, helping people notice how feelings show up physically and learn new ways to respond.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Alessio works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. He will adapt techniques across sessions so the work stays practical and relevant to what the client wants to change.
