Alessio Tonato
Calm, practical therapy for relationship and life challenges
About Alessio
Alessio Tonato is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has seven years of clinical experience and offers talk therapy in English, French and Italian. Alessio aims to create a calm space where people can begin to make sense of stressful feelings and difficult life moments.
He uses a holistic approach that draws on attachment-based ideas, mindfulness and somatic work. Sessions focus on increasing awareness of patterns in relationships, emotions and behaviour.
Background and approach
Alessio helps clients notice what keeps them stuck and then experiment with different ways of responding. Conversations are practical and grounded. Alessio helps people spot unhelpful habits, try small changes and build new, healthier ways of coping.
He supports those dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem difficulties, relationship and intimacy problems, trauma and anger. He also works with issues around career change, separation, family problems, abandonment, codependency, commitment and communication problems. Alessio’s work covers matters such as guilt, shame, emptiness, impulsivity and infidelity when these affect day-to-day life.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and exploratory. He encourages curiosity about how the body and mind interact, and uses simple mindfulness and body-focused exercises when helpful. This is practical counselling aimed at helping people find clearer choices in their lives.

How Alessio’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and trust. Online sessions help people notice repeating patterns and try different ways of relating in everyday life. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple paying-attention skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Brief exercises can be practised in-session and between meetings to build steadier focus and calmer responses. Somatic Therapy connects physical sensations with emotions so people can recognise and work with how the body stores tension and shock, using gentle movement or breath work when appropriate.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Alessio will explore your needs, goals and preferences and suggest what to try first. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted so the work matches what helps you most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and body‑focused exercises, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, journalling-style reflections and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and other commitments, while still working with registered or accredited professionals and experienced therapists.
