About Anila

Anila Babla offers support for people dealing with anxiety, stress, grief and relationship concerns. She is a counsellor with eight years' experience and a BACP credential. She aims to listen without judgement and help people find practical ways forward.

Anila uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that began earlier in life. She helps people notice how old responses turn up now. That can make it easier to change unhelpful routines and choose different actions.

Background and approach

She also draws on trauma-focused work when painful events or abuse shape daily life. That approach focuses on reducing distress from traumatic memories and rebuilding a sense of safety and control. Anila values creative ways of working and has experience as an art therapist, so she sometimes suggests expressive activities or simple creative tasks as part of sessions.

These can help people access feelings that are hard to name and try new ways of coping. Her style is direct but compassionate. She will sit with difficult feelings and help people experiment with small changes.

Sessions aim to leave people with clear steps they can try between meetings. Anila sees clients in the United Kingdom and works with people in English and Italian. She supports those facing career stress, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, chronic illness issues, attachment and abandonment worries, and life transitions.

Practical tools and steady therapeutic conversation are central to her work.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life forward even when anxiety or pain remain present. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from early life and current relationships, helping people understand why they repeat certain responses and where change might be possible.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Anila will discuss your background, goals and what feels most useful. Together you will decide whether ACT, psychodynamic work, trauma-focused methods or a mix makes the most sense for your situation.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face when time and location make that possible. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or who want ongoing ways to reflect between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or living far from clinic locations.
