Anna Rita Iaboni, BACP

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talk therapy with attention to spiritual and existential concerns. She draws on a mix of approaches to meet people where they are, and offers sessions in English and Italian. Her style is warm and respectful and she aims to help people move towards clearer understanding and calmer day-to-day living.

She works with common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image concerns.

Her practice combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-informed work. Sessions also draw on psychodynamic and existential perspectives when helpful. Anna Rita explains things plainly and adapts her pace to each person’s needs.

Her background in performing arts and holistic therapies informs a rounded approach. That experience feeds into conversations about identity, meaning and the impact of life events. People can expect a therapeutic space that attends to both practical patterns and deeper personal questions.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Fees vary by location and a subscription model is used, which can be cancelled at any time.

How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practise different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and certain sleep or eating problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and make decisions with the client. That collaborative process means the approach can change over time as needs and priorities become clearer.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or health needs because it reduces travel and can shorten time away from daily routines. It can also allow for sessions that focus on short, practical skills or longer reflective conversations depending on what the person needs. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use the same techniques online as they do in person, adapted to suit each session’s length and purpose.
