Alessio Tonato is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with seven years of practice who helps people through personal and professional change. He is BACP registered, and speaks English, French and Italian. Alessio focuses on building a thoughtful, dialogic space where clients can talk openly about what matters to them.

Alessio uses a holistic, experience-focused approach. He encourages people to notice how they react in relationships and at work. Together they look for patterns that cause pain or get in the way of goals.

Background and approach

The aim is to replace unhelpful habits with more useful ways of coping. Sessions often involve gentle reflection and practical exercises. Mindfulness techniques help slow things down.

Somatic work invites attention to bodily sensations tied to emotions. Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how early relationship patterns keep repeating. Alessio guides conversations so people can explore emotions and behaviour without pressure.

He helps clients test out new choices and practice different responses. This can build confidence and clearer direction when facing stress, anxiety, relationship or career challenges. He also offers help with issues such as abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems.

Alessio works with concerns including depression, trauma and anger, as well as life transitions like divorce and separation. People who prefer therapy in French or Italian can work with him in those languages. Appointments are offered online through video, phone, chat or messaging to fit different schedules.

How Alessio's approaches work online

Alessio uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and behaviours. This helps when intimacy, commitment or communication problems keep recurring. Mindfulness therapy is used to slow down overwhelming thoughts and notice stress or anxiety in the moment, which supports clearer choices and calmer responses.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Alessio will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits best. He works with people to adjust techniques over time so sessions match changing needs and outcomes.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a slightly less formal check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflective notes between sessions, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. Together these options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while balancing work, family or travel commitments.
