About Antonello
Antonello Sirigu is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has three years of professional experience in mental health work. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, career concerns, depression, coping with life changes and coaching. He practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Antonello draws on a range of clinical methods to help people talk through what feels hard. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas. He also works with Internal Family Systems concepts to look at how different parts of a person relate to each other.
In practice he focuses on clear, practical conversations about problems such as isolation, attachment worries, abandonment, communication difficulties and issues linked to immigration or ageing. He has worked in mental health services, charities and university settings, providing individual support and coaching related to career and workplace stresses.
Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to build skills for coping and decision making. Antonello pays attention to cultural and relational context when discussing goals and next steps. He describes the work as collaborative and adjusts the approach as things change.
Clients can expect straightforward explanations of methods and step-by-step plans for practical changes when these are helpful. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and to schedule a first session via the online booking flow.
How his approaches translate to online work
Antonello commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in ways that work well online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and improve function. DBT emphasises practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be practised between sessions.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change. These approaches are discussed and chosen together so the person and therapist agree what will be most useful. The therapist treats finding the right method as part of the early work rather than a one-off decision.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid travel for appointments. Registered and accredited professionals can use these options to keep therapeutic work practical and consistent with everyday life.
