Alessio Tonato

Alessio Tonato is a BACP counsellor who offers talk therapy to help people with personal and professional growth. He draws on seven years of clinical experience to guide clients through stressful and painful moments. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and create clearer paths forward. Alessio speaks English, French and Italian, and works with people on issues such as anxiety, depression and anger.

Alessio uses a holistic, dialogic style in sessions. He encourages clients to notice patterns of thought and behaviour. Together they explore what sits behind recurring problems and what gets in the way of change.

He blends practical reflection with embodied work. This means talking through difficult memories while also tuning into bodily responses and sensations. That combination is used to build new, more helpful habits in everyday life.

In therapy he pays attention to attachment and relational themes. Clients exploring intimacy, communication or trust find that looking at relational history can reveal helpful new options. He also supports people dealing with family problems, grief, career shifts and life transitions.

Alessio frames change as a step-by-step process. He helps people set concrete, realistic goals and tests small changes between sessions. The focus is on learning what works for each person and adapting the approach as needed, so clients can move forward with greater confidence.

How attachment, mindfulness and somatic work translate online

Alessio integrates attachment-based, mindfulness and somatic approaches to help people understand feelings and reactions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients find different ways of relating. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier awareness. Somatic therapy brings awareness to bodily sensations and the physical side of emotion to help people shift automatic responses.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Alessio treats this as collaborative: he listens to each person’s goals and tries methods to see what helps. Together they decide whether to emphasise relational exploration, mindful practice or body‑based techniques depending on needs and preferences.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and travel, and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows a flexible pace for practices such as guided breathing, gentle somatic exercises and reflective conversations that can be continued between sessions.
