About Antonella
Antonella Mezzasalma is a counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood and trauma. Antonella speaks English and Italian and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for anyone who is nervous about starting.
She believes each person knows their own story and that strengths already exist to help navigate change. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than long medical labels.
Background and approach
Antonella offers supportive guidance while people identify what matters most to them. Her approach draws on therapies that help change unhelpful thoughts and build skills for day-to-day coping. That can mean learning new ways to respond to worry, practising skills to regulate emotions, or working with different parts of the self to understand stuck patterns.
She uses simple tools and short exercises between sessions when that helps progress. Antonella also supports people through relationship and intimacy-related worries, issues with self-esteem, and life transitions such as separation or bereavement. She pays attention to cultural background and how identity affects confidence and connection.
Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by answering a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their routine. Antonella aims to offer a calm, practical space for people ready to make small changes that add up.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards a life that feels meaningful. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, and committing to actions that reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques for managing anxiety and unhelpful thinking. These approaches suit people wanting clear strategies to reduce worry and improve day-to-day coping.Finding the best fit is part of the work. The counsellor will help you decide which approach to try first based on your goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as you learn what helps you most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging can fit into busy days or be used for brief reflections between sessions. This range makes it easier to keep therapy going around work, family life and other commitments.
