About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talk-based work with a broad, human-centred outlook. She draws on relational and cognitive methods alongside existential ideas to help people manage stress, anxiety and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.
She uses a flexible approach shaped around each person's needs. That might mean looking at how early relationships affect current patterns, working on practical steps to reduce worry, or discussing values and meaning when people feel stuck.
Background and approach
The work aims to be straightforward and grounded rather than overly technical. Anna Rita has five years of experience supporting people with many concerns. These include trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction-related difficulties and compassion fatigue.
She also helps with self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD-related struggles. Her additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, body image, codependency and caregiver stress, alongside relationship and blended family strains. She is comfortable discussing less commonly talked about topics such as BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture when relevant to a person's wellbeing.
Sessions are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or message. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary by region and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How attachment, client-centred and CBT work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape present feelings and reactions. In online sessions this can help identify repeating patterns in anxiety or intimacy issues so practical changes can be tried in day-to-day life.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions - useful for building self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework between sessions to reduce worry and change unhelpful habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan together based on the person's goals, preferences and what feels most useful in practice. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or messaging make it easier to fit therapy around daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins and written reflection. These formats increase flexibility and can help people keep continuity of care when schedules are busy.
