Anna Rita Iaboni, BACP

Anna Rita Iaboni works as a counsellor and life coach who blends talk therapy with a broader, reflective approach that honours spiritual and existential questions. She is BACP credentialled and offers sessions in English and Italian. Her style is warm and respectful and she focuses on what matters to each person.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and supports those dealing with trauma, addiction and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns about self-esteem, intimacy, relationships, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and the strain of caregiving. Practical goals sit alongside gaining clearer self-understanding.

Her work draws on attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas, with influences from existential and psychodynamic thinking. That mix means she pays attention to present patterns, early relationships and the meanings people give their experiences. Sessions are shaped around the person rather than a fixed protocol.

Anna Rita has five years of professional experience. She combines that background with earlier work in performing arts and holistic therapies to offer a conversational, reflective space. People can expect an approach that balances gentle challenge with practical steps.

Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are not accepted; sessions are offered within the United Kingdom. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions to suit their needs.

How Anna Rita’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people notice and shift repeated ways of relating. It can be useful for worries about intimacy, abandonment and attachment issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering empathy and acceptance so people can find their own answers; this suits those seeking self-understanding or changes in self-esteem. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, concentrates on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to reduce anxiety, manage mood and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try approaches that fit your needs and preferences. Sessions can combine methods and evolve over time as you and the counsellor decide what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexibility around work and daily life. These options make it easier to fit therapy around commitments and different communication styles.
