About Barbara
Barbara Anzalone is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Barbara speaks English and Italian and accepts international clients.
Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what is most pressing and on building small, manageable steps forward. She adapts the pace to each person and pays attention to how past hurt or attachment patterns affect current life.
Barbara helps people who struggle with panic attacks, mood fluctuations and feelings of isolation. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, body image worries, communication problems and the fallout of divorce or separation. Conversations cover both thoughts and everyday actions that make life harder.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on trauma, grief, guilt and shame. Pregnancy, childbirth and questions about life purpose are within the range of concerns she addresses. Sessions aim to make problems clearer and identify practical changes people can try between meetings.
Barbara asks people to start with a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. She explains next steps and the likely focus in that initial meeting so people know what to expect.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and panic. This method helps people notice which thoughts increase stress and try practical alternatives.Another approach concentrates on working through traumatic experiences and their effects on daily life. This work emphasises stabilising symptoms, improving coping skills and gradually addressing distressing memories so they have less power over everyday reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That choice is made together and can be adjusted over time based on what helps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are listed during sign-up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family life and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. For people who cannot travel, remote appointments remove the need to commute while keeping the focus on practical, step-by-step change.
