Assunta Mariosa helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. She introduces herself warmly and aims to make the first step feel manageable. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she works with international clients from the United Kingdom.

Assunta uses a mix of practical talking and structured techniques to tackle problems. She draws on attachment-based work to look at how close relationships affect feelings and behaviours.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-centred approaches mean the person sets the pace and direction of therapy. In conversation she focuses on clear listening and simple feedback.

People can expect straightforward, non-judgemental discussion about their worries. Assunta helps identify small, realistic steps to try between sessions and reviews progress together. Typical topics she addresses include abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, communication breakdowns, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose and midlife concerns.

She also supports men with particular pressures and helps with panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. Assunta holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Her work has developed over four years of professional practice.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. To begin, a person taps the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Online sessions allow a careful conversation about connection, trust and patterns in close relationships to help people recognise familiar responses and try new ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre. The counsellor listens with empathy and follows the client's lead, helping them make sense of feelings and decide what matters most in therapy. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk things through at their own pace.

Cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions this can include talking through unhelpful thought patterns, trying small behavioural experiments and setting practical tasks between meetings to test what changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the approach as therapy progresses.

Online formats offer real flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who need a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter, ongoing contact possible and can fit a busy day or a quiet moment. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
