About Anna

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes among her main concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.

She draws on several talking-therapy approaches and adapts them to what each person brings. That can include exploring how past relationships shape present feelings, looking at negative thought patterns, and focusing on the here-and-now to find practical steps forward. Conversations are paced to the client's comfort and aim to be straightforward and clear.

Her background includes performing arts and a range of holistic approaches, which inform how she attends to meaning and personal values. This can be helpful when people want to look at identity, attachment, intimacy-related issues, or questions about purpose and life direction. Anna Rita also lists work around addiction, grief, body image and chronic illness among her practice areas.

She notes particular experience with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress and issues connected to ageing and blended family situations. Clients who want to address eating and sleeping concerns, communication problems, or elements of ADHD may also find relevant support in her sessions.

Practical next steps are simple: complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. Online sessions can use conversation to map those patterns and notice how they affect friendships, intimacy and everyday interactions.

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and pace, with the counsellor offering listening and reflection rather than direction. This approach helps people who want a calm space to speak through what matters to them and decide next steps.

Cognitive behavioural techniques address unhelpful thoughts and habits with practical exercises and small experiments. These methods often suit people who want concrete tools to reduce anxiety or improve sleep and routine.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as those goals become clearer, so the plan evolves from collaboration rather than assumption.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, allow quieter surroundings, remove travel time and allow short check-ins when a full session is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how they arrange appointments and which formats they offer during the initial scheduling steps.
