About Assunta
Assunta Mariosa is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. She also supports issues connected to guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment. Assunta speaks English and Italian and accepts clients from outside the UK.
Assunta aims to make sessions straightforward and direct. She invites people to talk about thoughts and feelings without judgement. In a session she listens, reflects, and helps people name patterns that keep them stuck. She uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon.
Her practice combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions, follows the client's concerns, and introduces ideas to test and change unhelpful thinking. These approaches are used to address things like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, control issues and communication problems.
People often come to Assunta with body image worries, struggling with forgiveness, isolation or questions about life purpose. She also works with men's issues, midlife change and the fallout of divorce or separation. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings clearer and more manageable through steady, practical steps.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. In practice this means noticing patterns in relationships and considering new ways of relating that reduce repeated hurt.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and pace. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and supports the person to name what matters most to them in sessions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, introduces simple ways to test and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It can help with panic attacks, anxiety and low mood by breaking problems into smaller, manageable steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Assunta will work collaboratively to decide which ideas fit a person's goals and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adapts the way sessions are used over time.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into everyday life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into a person's routine.
