About Assunta
Assunta Mariosa is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma or abuse, eating concerns and depression. She uses a calm and open approach to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and situations. She speaks English and Italian and works with international clients.
She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can say what is on their mind. Sessions focus on listening first, then gently sorting through thoughts and feelings together.
Background and approach
The goal is to make sense of what is happening and find steps that fit each person’s life. Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are offered to help spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Assunta has four years of professional experience in the field. That experience informs a straightforward style that balances practical ideas with time to reflect.
She encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable. Starting therapy usually begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Assunta supports people who are nervous about taking the first step and aims to make the process as clear and simple as possible.
How attachment and CBT work in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this approach helps people notice repeated reactions in close relationships and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s pace, offering reflections and space to make sense of feelings and choices.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood because it offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods match the client’s goals, needs and preferences. That choice can evolve as sessions continue and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps people reflect between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
