Anna Rita Iaboni, BACP

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who brings a rounded, human-centred approach to therapy. She draws on her background in performing arts and holistic therapies to attend to both practical and deeper life concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Italian to suit different preferences. Anna Rita focuses on thoughts and everyday habits alongside emotional and relational issues. Her practice often combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening. This means conversations focus on what matters to the person and how past connections might shape current feelings. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural approaches to look at unhelpful thinking and routine behaviours that keep problems going. Anna Rita works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse, as well as issues like self-esteem, addiction, grief and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with eating and sleeping problems, parenting strains and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems. With five years of practice, Anna Rita aims to move at each person’s natural pace. She combines practical ideas for changing everyday habits with space to reflect on meaning and values. The result is a mix of short-term coping strategies and deeper conversational work. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy flow, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary with location and a cancellable subscription model is used.

How her approaches work in online therapy

A client-centred approach means the conversation is guided by the person’s concerns and goals, with the therapist following the client’s pace and priorities. This style helps when someone needs a respectful, listening-led space to think things through. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships influence current feelings and patterns. They help when recurring relationship fears or trust issues shape everyday reactions. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on thoughts and day-to-day habits that keep problems going, offering simple experiments and small routine changes to test what helps. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, preferences and goals and together decide what to try first. That collaborative process can include short-term practical steps and longer conversations about meaning and values. Please check the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel, allowing workday breaks or shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to choose what feels manageable for them while exploring changes to thoughts and habits at a steady pace.
