Anna Rita Iaboni

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talking therapy with a life-coaching outlook. She draws on her background in performing arts and holistic approaches to support people facing stress, anxiety, anger and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and focus on practical steps clients can use day to day.

She works from a person-focused stance, listening first to understand what matters most. That creates space to look at patterns linked to relationships, attachment and self-esteem. Conversations can also address trauma, addiction, grief and difficulties with intimacy or sleep.

Her approach mixes client-centred listening with ideas from attachment theory and psychodynamic thinking. Cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behaviours. Existential themes about meaning and values may be brought in for people wrestling with life direction.

Anna Rita describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set small goals and practises skills together in sessions. The work is paced to each person, and spiritual or transpersonal concerns can be included when requested.

She has five years' experience and holds BACP registration. Practical next steps are simple: choose the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Anna Rita’s approaches translate to online work

Anna Rita draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people feel heard and understood. Attachment-based work looks at how past care and relationships shape current patterns, which can be useful for worries about closeness, trust and anger. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, using empathy and open dialogue to help people find their own solutions.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and action-focused, and can help with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and anger by teaching skills to manage reactions and routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then tailor sessions collaboratively. That means trying things in session and adjusting as needed until the method suits the individual's needs.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into everyday life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering options when camera use is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to support ongoing daily change.
