About Alessio
Alessio Tonato is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers talk therapy aimed at helping people with personal and professional growth. Sessions focus on building awareness and exploring what gets in the way of change.
He uses a holistic, dialogic approach that invites clients to try things experientially and creatively. Conversations are aimed at uncovering patterns of thought and behaviour that cause distress. Alessio helps people spot those patterns and practise new ways of responding that better fit their current life and career goals.
Common concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He also works with problems such as self-esteem, anger, career transitions, trauma and family conflict. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment themes, codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, and issues around infidelity and separation.
Alessio draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. He uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. Somatic Therapy is used to bring attention to how emotions are held in the body and to support change through bodily awareness.
Sessions are offered in English, French and Italian. He practises in the United Kingdom and has seven years of clinical experience, working with people who want clearer direction and practical ways to cope with life changes.
How Alessio's approaches translate to online therapy
Alessio works with Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current behaviour and emotional responses. This approach helps when connection, trust or repeating relationship patterns are a central problem.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations without judgement. Mindfulness can support anxiety, stress and difficulties with attention by building steady noticing skills.
Somatic Therapy features in his work too, bringing attention to how emotions show up in the body and using body-based awareness to support change. This can be useful for people who find words alone dont capture their experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alessio aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He will discuss options and adapt exercises so they fit what a person wants to achieve.
