About Antonello
Antonello Sirigu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and career concerns. He works with adults who are navigating life changes or seeking practical coaching for work and motivation. He aims to create a respectful space where each person’s background and culture are acknowledged.
He trained and practised first in Italy and has continued professional development while working in UK mental health services.
Background and approach
His practice draws on several therapy approaches so he can adapt to each person’s needs. He uses clear, straightforward conversations and practical techniques to address day-to-day problems and longer-standing patterns. Clients can expect a blend of talking and skill-building.
He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking patterns that affect mood and behaviour. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and tolerating distress when needed. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems to look at relationship patterns and inner parts that influence choices.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. Sessions combine exploration of history with steps to improve current functioning. Antonello is registered with the HCPC.
He has three years of professional experience working across mental health services, charities and university settings. His approach is practical, culturally aware and focused on helping people find clearer direction and better day-to-day coping.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, then try approaches that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping regular contact with a registered professional.
