Barbara Anzalone is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) who practises in the United Kingdom. She has four years of professional experience and supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Barbara speaks English and Italian and is willing to work with international clients.

Barbara aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to talk. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps people can try between meetings. Her approach addresses common patterns such as attachment and abandonment fears, communication breakdowns and control issues. She also works with emotional pain from divorce, loss, guilt, shame and past trauma.

Practical aspects like panic attacks, mood swings and body image concerns are part of the work she offers. Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a straightforward style. She helps people identify what feels stuck and tests different ways of coping.

Progress is tracked through what changes in daily life and relationships. People can expect a calm, respectful tone and a plan tailored to their needs. Barbara encourages small, manageable steps and focuses on skills that can be practised outside sessions.

She highlights strengths while addressing the challenges people bring to therapy.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a clear, practical way. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with panic attacks, worry and mood disturbance by teaching simple coping skills and gradual behaviour changes.

Another strand deals with attachment and relational patterns. It helps people understand repeated relationship cycles, improve communication, and make different choices in close relationships. This work is useful for abandonment fears, separation issues and ongoing communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what feels most useful based on a person’s goals, symptoms and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits richer face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options help fit therapy around work, travel or family commitments and make regular support more manageable.
