About Barbara
Barbara Anzalone is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration, which signals her membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She speaks English and Italian and works with people on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression.
Barbara focuses on creating a respectful and compassionate space. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs, with straightforward conversation and practical steps.
Background and approach
She aims to make the first move into therapy feel manageable and supportive. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going. That can include attachment and abandonment issues, control and communication problems, or feelings of guilt and shame.
She also addresses mood and panic symptoms, body image worries, and the emotional strain around divorce, pregnancy or life transitions. Her background includes work with post-traumatic stress and abuse, and she helps people rebuild a sense of self-worth and self-love. Conversations lead to simple tools you can try between sessions to reduce overwhelm and notice progress.
Barbara offers a tailored plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. She works with each person to set realistic goals and choose methods that match their situation and pace. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical coping skills.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. For people coping with trauma and post-traumatic stress, approaches that focus on stabilisation and grounding can help reduce intense reactions and make daily life more manageable. For anxiety and mood concerns, structured strategies that teach breathing, pacing and behavioural steps help reduce panic and lift low mood by changing how people act and respond.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, goals and preferences. Together they choose techniques to try and adapt them if something does not feel helpful. This collaborative process means the plan changes as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, telephone sessions, live chat and ongoing text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a conversational feel and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need flexible timing. These options make therapy more accessible around work, family life and different time zones.
