My name is Alessio Tonato, and I am a Certified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and BACP Registered therapist. I work with individuals who want to understand themselves more deeply, navigate personal and professional challenges, and create meaningful change in their lives.
My approach is relational, exploratory and experiential. I am interested not only in what is happening in your life, but in the patterns through which you experience yourself, other people and the world around you. Over time, we can develop ways of thinking, relating and behaving that once served an important purpose, but may no longer fit who we are or the life we want to create.
Therapy provides a space to slow these patterns down and look at them with greater clarity. Together, we explore what lies beneath recurring difficulties, relationships, choices and behaviours, and develop a wider awareness of the possibilities available to you. The aim is not simply to understand your past, but to use that understanding to create greater freedom and choice in the present.
I work collaboratively and dialogically, adapting the process to the person in front of me. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to help you see more clearly how you have come to be where you are — and what might become possible when the ways of being that once protected or supported you no longer have to define you.
I work with a range of personal and professional concerns, including relationships, self-worth, confidence, identity, life transitions, motivation and career development.
I offer therapy in English, Italian and French, both online and in central London.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
