Assunta Mariosa
Warm practical therapy for anxiety and relationships
About Assunta
Assunta Mariosa helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns and depression. She speaks English and Italian and works with clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who want clear support and practical steps.
She focuses on building a calm space where people can talk without fear of judgement. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's needs.
Background and approach
Assunta encourages small changes that add up to real relief over time. Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix helps with emotional wounds, patterns in relationships, painful memories and anxious thinking.
Assunta uses practical exercises and reflection to help people feel more in control of their reactions. Assunta has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. She aims to make the process straightforward for people who are nervous about starting therapy.
She will explain what to expect and work at a pace that feels manageable. People often come to her for help with abandonment worries, body image and self-worth, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, midlife transitions, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. Her practice blends listening with concrete tools to support daily life changes.

Sessions & fees
Approaches and online therapy options
Assunta commonly uses attachment-based work and client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment or repeated relationship pain. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood, giving space for people to speak at their own pace and explore what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the best way to work together is part of the process. Assunta will discuss different approaches with each person and decide collaboratively which methods suit their goals and preferences. The plan can change as needs evolve and sessions focus on what is most useful for the person in front of her.
Online therapy offers flexibility and makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, ongoing support between calls. These options let people access therapeutic support from different locations and at times that work for them.
