Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talking therapy with a respect for the personal and existential side of life. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people facing worry, low mood or life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.
She keeps sessions simple and respectful. Conversations are shaped around individual needs and pace. The focus is on practical ways to manage things like stress, anxiety, sleep or relationship and intimacy concerns while noticing deeper patterns that affect everyday life.
Background and approach
Her background includes performing arts and holistic therapies, which inform a flexible style in the room. That experience can help when people are exploring identity, body image, or issues connected to sexuality and kink culture. She also supports people dealing with trauma, addiction-related difficulties and compassion fatigue.
Anna Rita uses techniques from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural approaches and client-centred therapy alongside psychodynamic and existential ideas. That mix helps with coping skills, problem solving and understanding long-standing emotional patterns. Sessions aim to balance short-term goals with deeper reflection.
She has five years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. Therapy takes place online using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and is arranged to suit each person’s schedule. To start, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people who notice repeated patterns in relationships or who find trust and closeness difficult. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, using empathic listening to help people clarify their priorities and make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies for reducing anxiety, improving sleep and changing unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning may include trying short-term strategies first and then exploring deeper issues over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face without travel, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and a written record of thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and to keep therapy consistent around life demands.
