About Anila
Anila Babla, BACP, offers calm, steady support for people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression, and issues around intimacy. She also helps with stress, addictions, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes. Sessions are practical and honest, with space to talk things through without judgement.
Anila describes her work as psychodynamic in nature, which means she pays attention to patterns that began in early life and how they affect present behaviour.
Background and approach
She brings eight years of experience to sessions and encourages people to notice hidden habits and feelings that shape choices. Conversation is clear and grounded rather than full of jargon. She also values creative ways of working and draws on her background in art therapy when that feels helpful.
That can mean using simple creative exercises to access emotions that are hard to name by talking alone. Creative options are offered alongside talking therapy, not instead of it. Anila uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles to help people identify their values and take small steps towards them, even when feelings are difficult.
She combines this with trauma-focused methods when past harm is central to the problem, tailoring the approach to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Anila works with practical goals and emotional understanding so people can manage daily life more effectively and build clearer paths forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at past harm and its effects on everyday life, using careful steps to help people process memories and reduce distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions - it helps people live in ways that matter to them even when feelings are hard. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns that began in earlier relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current choices and reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Anila will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try first. The plan can change as work progresses so the approach better fits what actually helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can work well if bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit shorter or more frequent check-ins, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access a therapist from different locations.
