Anna Rita Iaboni, BACP

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talking therapy with life-coaching ideas. She draws on her background in performing arts and holistic therapies to support people facing change, loss, or difficult feelings. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and aim to match each person’s pace and needs.

In practice she uses several approaches to help people make sense of their experience. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at relationship patterns that repeat over time. Cognitive behavioural techniques help with unhelpful thinking and practical coping skills. Psychodynamic and existential perspectives support exploration of deeper life questions and meaning.

Anna Rita has five years’ experience in the field and works with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression and trauma, plus issues such as self-esteem, grief, eating and sleeping problems, addiction, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing life transitions, ageing concerns, attachment difficulties and intimacy-related questions.

Her approach is person-centred and collaborative. Sessions focus on listening, gentle challenge and practical steps that fit daily life. The aim is to help people find clearer choices and feel more able to cope with change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape patterns in adult life and relationships, helping people who notice repeated difficulties with trust or closeness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, offering practical tools for anxiety, low mood and stress. A client-centred stance means the counsellor listens without judgement and tailors sessions to each person’s pace and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different ways of working until you find what helps. That collaborative process often includes mixing practical strategies with deeper exploration of meaning and relationships.

If you prefer online sessions please confirm the current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also suit quieter or lower-bandwidth options if that helps you engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust the way they use these methods to suit remote sessions and everyday life.
