About Anna

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talk therapy with wider life coaching. She draws on her background in performing arts and holistic therapies to offer a space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma and life changes in a way that suits them. Her sessions aim to meet people where they are.

She works at a steady pace and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. English and Italian are both offered for sessions.

Background and approach

Anna Rita uses a mix of approaches to help with problems such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, sleep and eating issues, and anger. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, chronic illness, caregiving strain, attachment and abandonment worries, and dissociation after trauma. Her practice includes Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred work.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and existential perspectives when these fit a person’s goals. These tools are used in straightforward ways to address patterns, thoughts and day-to-day coping. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Anna Rita describes therapy as collaborative and practical. She helps people set goals they can use between sessions and checks progress as they go. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a time that suits them.

The process is designed to be simple for someone who is ready to make a change.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to help people address the impact of traumatic events by focusing on symptoms and coping strategies. It supports people in reducing distress and learning ways to manage triggers in daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This approach helps people notice patterns in attachment, improve emotional safety in relationships and build clearer expectations of others.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own pace and perspective. The counsellor offers empathic listening, reflection and gentle questions to help people find their own solutions and make sense of difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that seem most helpful. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation while phone calls can fit a short check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written dialogue, want brief check-ins, or need flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family or travel schedules and allow continuity when in-person meetings are not possible.
