About Antonella
Antonella Mezzasalma is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing low mood and life stress. She combines straightforward tools with a respectful, person-centred style. Antonella speaks English and Italian and practises in the United Kingdom as a BACP professional.
She focuses on common but painful problems such as depression, anxiety and trauma. She also helps with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at helping people notice what matters to them and build small, manageable steps toward those goals. With three years of professional experience, Antonella draws on a mix of approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build meaningful action. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills support emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Her style is practical and collaborative.
She invites clients to describe their daily challenges, then works with them to try techniques they can use between sessions. Conversations are direct but warm, with an emphasis on simple exercises and real-life application. People choose Antonella when they want clear tools and steady support for depression, anxiety, relationship strain or life transitions.
She aims to help clients move from stuck to making small, steady progress toward the life they want.

Online support
Finding the best approach is part of the work and it usually involves some trial and feedback. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, suggest methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan together over time. That collaborative process means sessions evolve as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, journalling between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
