About Alessio
Alessio Tonato is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who offers talk therapy to help people make sense of personal and professional struggles. He is BACP registered, and communicates in English, French and Italian. Alessio aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
He uses a holistic, dialogic approach that opens space for gentle curiosity. Sessions focus on increasing awareness of patterns and habits that get in the way. Alessio helps people notice what they do automatically and consider different, more helpful options.
Work usually looks at emotional patterns linked to relationships, intimacy, stress and self‑esteem. He also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and major life changes. Conversations may cover attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, control or communication problems, and issues around commitment or separation.
Alessio brings in mindfulness and somatic ideas to help clients reconnect with what they feel in the body and calm anxious reactions. He encourages practical skills alongside reflection, so people can try small changes between sessions and see what helps.
Sessions begin by identifying immediate priorities and long‑term goals. Alessio guides clients to build new ways of responding that match their life and career aims. He aims to create a respectful space where people can try things out and develop clearer choices.
How attachment, mindfulness and body‑focused work translate online
Alessio draws on Attachment‑Based Therapy to look at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns. This approach helps people see why certain reactions repeat and how to develop different ways of relating. He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple noticing and breathing practices that reduce anxiety and improve focus. Somatic Therapy approaches help clients recognise bodily signals linked to emotion and learn gentle ways to release tension.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Alessio will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can blend talking with mindful exercises and body awareness techniques so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑in sessions when needed. Some people find video useful for face‑to‑face conversation, while others prefer audio for less visual demand; Alessio will help identify which arrangement best supports practical goals.
