About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talking therapy with life coaching. She brings five years of experience and works in English and Italian. She aims to meet people where they are and help them make changes at a realistic pace.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. She pays attention to relationships and how early patterns shape current feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on small, practical steps that can change day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Anna Rita also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking when helpful. That means she will look at unhelpful thoughts, patterns of behaviour, and deeper emotional themes. She explains ideas simply and helps people try out new ways of coping between sessions.
She supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, addictions and ADHD. Additional areas include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, dissociation and other complex life challenges. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
People choose the format that fits their life and comfort. Anna Rita encourages a collaborative working style and adapts the pace and focus to each person's needs.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the journey and is decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when working on emotional material. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
