Giada Tassi, BACP

Giada Tassi is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and career pressures. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and take place online by video, phone, chat or messaging.

Giada bases her work on client-centred therapy, which places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions. She aims to listen without judgement and to reflect what she hears so people can find their own answers. The pace is set by the person coming to therapy and sessions can be short term or longer term depending on need.

In a typical first meeting she spends time getting to know the person and their expectations. She covers practical questions and what the person hopes to achieve. This initial conversation is used to shape future sessions and to agree together how best to work.

Giada draws on eight years of experience supporting concerns such as panic, relationship strain, body image and workplace difficulties. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose. The BACP credential is shown as BACP and denotes her registration with that body.

People can use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time for sessions that vary in cost depending on location and therapist availability. International clients are not currently accepted, and appointments are scheduled after completing a short matching questionnaire and selecting a suitable time.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and creates space for the person to explore feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions by encouraging people to trust their own insights and strengths.

Giada uses a collaborative style. She will help figure out whether client-centred work fits the person's needs and goals, and will adjust the way they work together over time. Deciding on the best approach is a joint process based on the person's preferences and what feels most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling or people who find written conversation easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work and daily life.
