He introduces practical steps and a steady presence so clients can make small, reliable shifts.

He trained and practised in Italy before moving to the United Kingdom. Antonello has three years of professional experience working in mental health services and community settings.
Background and approach
He is registered with the HCPC, which is shown as HCPC on his profile. Sessions focus on understanding what led to current difficulties and then trying doable strategies to change unhelpful patterns. He uses talking, reflection and concrete skills work so people can manage mood, anxiety and daily stress more effectively.
He also offers coaching-style support for career and motivation concerns. Antonello pays attention to cultural background and life story when planning work together. He often helps people with attachment concerns, feelings of abandonment, loneliness and family of origin issues.
He also supports clients facing immigration challenges, end-of-life and hospice matters, or age-related worries. Clinical methods include cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour ideas, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic thinking and parts-focused work from Internal Family Systems. The mix is shaped to individual needs rather than fixed to one method.
If someone prefers clearer goals or deeper reflection, Antonello adapts the pace and focus to match. He offers sessions in English by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Antonello commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy approaches to help with mood and stress. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to change mood and anxiety. Dialectical behaviour therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving everyday coping.He also draws on motivational interviewing when people want help finding direction or making changes. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people weigh options, build motivation and plan small steps towards a goal. Together these methods suit people who want both clear tools and talk that respects their story.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Antonello will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as the sessions progress. This means sessions can shift between skills practice, coaching-style check-ins and deeper reflective work depending on what the client needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to fit different routines. Video offers a close face-to-face experience, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messages suit brief updates or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
