About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talking therapy with life coaching to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and codependency. She writes in English and Italian and aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for people to explore difficult feelings. Her background in performing arts and holistic therapies shapes a rounded, human-centred way of working.
She tailors conversations to each person and draws on several approaches to suit different needs. Expect practical conversation, gentle reflection and tasks to try outside sessions when they could help. The focus is on what matters to the individual and on small steps that can change day-to-day life.
Anna Rita draws particularly on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to build trust and understanding. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns, and existential themes to address meaning and purpose. These methods are woven together rather than offered as rigid programmes.
Her practice includes support for trauma, abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, depression, ADHD and addictions among other concerns. Additional areas she notices in her work include abandonment, body image, caregiver stress and codependency.
With five years’ experience, Anna Rita aims to match her approach to the person in front of her. She encourages people to move at their own pace and to try approaches that feel manageable. The emphasis is on practical change and clearer understanding rather than quick fixes.
How Anna Rita's approaches translate to online work
This counsellor draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand their close relationships and patterns that affect current connections. Attachment work is useful when past relationship experiences make present relationships feel difficult. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and helping them find their own solutions through a respectful, non-directive stance.These approaches are used alongside Cognitive Behavioural ideas when helpful - for instance to identify unhelpful thinking patterns or small behavioural experiments that may ease anxiety or improve sleep. Sessions combine talking, reflection and practical exercises that a person can try between meetings. The counsellor will discuss which methods might help and will work together with the client to choose an approach that fits their goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online or in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust pace, focus and homework to suit day-to-day commitments, helping therapy fit around family and work without promising a particular delivery method.
