Alessio Tonato, BACP

Alessio Tonato is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who offers talk therapy to help people with personal and professional challenges. He is BACP-registered, and works in English, French and Italian to support conversations in the client's preferred language.

He takes a holistic approach that blends attention to the body, emotions and thoughts. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns that no longer serve them. Alessio encourages a dialogic style - a collaborative conversation where curiosity guides the work.

Clients are invited to look at the root of their struggles. Therapy often involves identifying behaviours and thought habits, then trying alternative ways of responding. Alessio uses practical exercises and reflective dialogue to build more helpful patterns over time.

He pays attention to how past relationships and attachment shape current difficulties. Mindfulness and somatic practices are included to help people reconnect with bodily experience and present-moment awareness. These methods are used to manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship or intimacy-related problems.

Alessio also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, communication and impulses that affect daily life. He supports people through career transitions, family problems, grief and separation, helping them find clearer choices and increased resilience.

Attachment, Mindfulness and Body-Aware Online Work

Alessio draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current bonds and intimacy. This helps people understand patterns such as fear of abandonment, codependency or difficulty trusting others.

He also uses mindfulness practices to bring attention to thoughts and feelings in the present moment, which can reduce reactivity and ease anxiety and low mood. Somatic therapy is included to notice bodily sensations and how the body holds stress or emotional pain, which can support regulation and new coping options.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy. Alessio will work collaboratively to select approaches that match a person's goals, needs and preferences, and he adjusts methods as the work evolves.
