About Anila
Anila Babla offers support for relationship difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also helps people dealing with addictions, career uncertainty, compassion fatigue and the practical effects of chronic pain, illness or traumatic brain injury. Sessions are held in English and Italian and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Anila follows a psychodynamic approach and uses creative techniques when helpful.
Background and approach
She believes early life patterns shape how people respond now, and she gently helps clients notice those patterns. Conversations are plain and direct, with space to reflect and to try new ways of responding. Her work often explores attachment, abandonment and codependency.
She supports people struggling with communication, commitment issues and somatic symptoms that can accompany stress or trauma. Anila pays attention to how emotions show up in the body as well as in thoughts and behaviour. Sessions focus on what matters now while also looking at older patterns that keep causing pain.
She encourages practical steps alongside deeper reflection, so clients develop coping strategies that fit their daily life. Creative methods can be used to access feelings that are hard to put into words. Conversations aim to be honest and steady.
Anila values integrity and connection and is prepared to sit with difficult feelings alongside the person she is supporting. Her intention is to help people move from surviving to feeling more able to shape their life and choices.

How Anila’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful when anxiety, depression or life changes make it hard to move forward. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at past patterns and how they show up now, helping people understand repeated responses and make different choices. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing difficult experiences and reducing their ongoing impact on daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then try methods that fit your needs. Over time the plan can shift, combining elements of different approaches to suit what works for you.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when you want visual connection, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between meetings or use a shorter format when that suits your day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and adapt therapy to your routine.
