About Antonello
Antonello Sirigu is a counsellor who helps people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. He works with adults on issues such as depression, career concerns and coping with transitions. He aims to create a respectful, warm space where conversations feel practical and direct.
He trained and practised in Italy before moving to the United Kingdom and has around 3 years of professional experience. His registration is with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC.
Background and approach
He has worked in NHS mental health services and with charities and university settings. In sessions he focuses on what is happening now and what can be done to make daily life easier. That may include skills from cognitive behavioural approaches to reduce unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
He also uses techniques that help with emotion regulation and motivation when someone feels overwhelmed. Antonello pays attention to cultural background and family history when understanding problems. He sees how relationships, upbringing and life events shape thinking and behaviour, and he uses that understanding to guide conversations.
He aims to tailor plans to each person's goals, whether they want relief from symptoms or deeper personal insight. He offers flexible formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment through the service.
How therapeutic approaches work online
CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that make anxiety or low mood worse. It often uses short exercises and practical strategies to reduce worry and improve daily functioning.DBT, dialectical behaviour therapy, emphasises emotion regulation and coping skills. It teaches concrete techniques for managing intense feelings and improving communication, which can help when stress or strong emotions get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods in collaboration with you. That means techniques can shift over time if something isn’t helping or if priorities change.
Online therapy via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing thoughts feels easier. These options aim to make regular contact simpler while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work.
