About Anna

Anna Rita Iaboni is a counsellor who draws on person-centred work and broader therapeutic traditions to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and life changes. She uses a compassionate, respectful style and speaks both English and Italian. Her practice aims to make conversations clear and practical, so people feel understood and can take manageable steps forward.

Her background includes performing arts and holistic therapies, which influence a wider view of what matters to people.

Background and approach

She pays attention to emotional patterns, attachment issues and underlying life themes. Sessions are tailored to each person's pace and needs rather than following a fixed formula. Anna Rita mixes client-centred ways of working with cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful.

She also draws on psychodynamic and existential perspectives to look at past experience, meaning and identity. This range lets her address problems such as low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and the impact of trauma. Practical matters such as sleep, eating, addiction and coping with caring responsibilities are part of her focus.

Anna Rita also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, chronic illness, bereavement and anger. She considers how sexuality, kink and attachment patterns affect wellbeing. She has five years' experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process.

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

How Anna Rita combines approaches in online counselling

Anna Rita uses client-centred work to create a respectful space where people set the pace and priorities for sessions. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions, which is useful for many concerns such as low self-esteem or relationship worries.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, sleep problems, addictive patterns and practical coping strategies to reduce stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and adapt methods to match a person's needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way rather than imposing one method from the start. This helps shape a plan that feels useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for deeper conversations and reading non-verbal cues, phone calls work well if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging allows short updates between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
