About Assunta

Assunta Mariosa is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. She also offers help with issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, loneliness, and men’s issues. She writes in English and Italian and works with international clients.

Assunta uses a warm, non-judgemental style to make it easier to talk about difficult things. She aims to build an open space where people can share thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of understanding what is going on day to day.

Her approach draws on Attachment-Based work to look at how past relationships affect current behaviour. She also uses Client-Centred methods that keep the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and try different coping strategies.

Assunta has four years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She encourages small steps and practical goals to make change feel manageable.

Getting started involves choosing the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and then arranging sessions according to the therapist’s availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence feelings and behaviour now. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and try different ways of connecting or reacting in daily life.

Client-Centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and aims to make them feel heard. In an online setting this often means the counsellor follows the client’s pace and offers reflective listening to help clarify thoughts and emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thoughts and test new actions. Online sessions can set small, practical tasks between meetings to notice what changes and build new habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the options and agree a plan based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking to be sure they fit your routine. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It can also help people access support across time zones when working with international clients.
