Antonella Stacchiotti, BACP

Antonella Stacchiotti offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or big life changes. She speaks English and Italian and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Antonella’s approach is straightforward and respectful, and she focuses on what each person needs in the moment.

With 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom, Antonella has helped people cope with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and confidence, and panic attacks. She also works with issues linked to abandonment and attachment, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and women's issues.

Sessions are shaped around each client's specific situation. Antonella tailors conversations and plans so they match individual goals and pace. She concentrates on clear, achievable steps rather than jargon or long lists of techniques.

People can expect an empathetic style that balances practical ideas with emotional support. Antonella emphasises respect and sensitivity in how she listens and responds. She aims to help people feel more able to manage daily pressures and to take guided steps towards change.

If someone is ready to start, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Antonella supports people as they move through the early stages of therapy and beyond, adjusting the approach as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Antonella uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and panic - it teaches breathing, grounding and activity pacing so daily life becomes less overwhelming. Another approach works with the impact of trauma and loss by helping people make sense of painful memories and build more stable routines and coping strategies.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that suit your goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what a person needs and prefers.

Online therapy here includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations that feel close to face-to-face. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing prompts, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit support around work, family and daily life.
