Alessio Tonato

Alessio Tonato is a psychotherapeutic counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers talk therapy aimed at helping people navigate personal and professional challenges. Alessio uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns and consider new ways of living and relating.

He favours a holistic style that blends awareness work with a curious, dialogic attitude. Sessions are places to explore how behaviours and thoughts developed and to test different responses. Alessio guides people to spot unhelpful habits and try alternatives that fit their life goals.

Common issues he works with include stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports people dealing with family problems, trauma and abuse, anger, career change and coping with life transitions. Additional focuses include attachment issues, codependency, infidelity and divorce and separation.

Alessio draws on attachment-based ideas, mindfulness and somatic approaches to help people reconnect with body sensations and present-moment awareness. This combination is used to increase emotional awareness and regulate strong reactions. He explains techniques in plain language and practices alongside the client rather than lecturing.

Sessions are available in English, French and Italian for people located in the United Kingdom. Alessio aims to create a steady, open space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and test practical steps toward change.

How Alessio's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and to themselves, which can be useful for relationship worries, abandonment concerns and attachment issues.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to work with difficult thoughts and feelings. These techniques help reduce reactivity and increase clarity when facing stress, anxiety or intense emotions.

Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and physical responses. It helps people recognise how stress and trauma show up in the body and learn ways to calm or shift those responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and will collaborate with the person to try methods that suit them. This is tested and adjusted as therapy progresses rather than decided in advance.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue therapy during life changes while working with a registered professional who can adapt exercises to the online setting.
