Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her work draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. These tools are used to build coping skills, manage difficult feelings and improve daily functioning.

The choice of method depends on what the person finds most helpful. Vania has over 21 years of professional experience and is registered with the HCPC. She practices from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Italian.

International clients are accepted, and she adapts her approach to different cultural backgrounds. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How approaches like ACT and CBT work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build psychological flexibility and to act in line with personal values, which can help with anxiety and stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Online CBT often uses short exercises and homework to change patterns that keep problems like low mood or anxiety going.

Attachment-Based Therapy is about understanding how early relationships affect current ones. It can help people improve connection and manage intimacy or relationship difficulties through reflective conversations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative and can shift over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and daily life while keeping treatment consistent.
