About Antonella
Antonella Mezzasalma is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works in English and Italian and brings three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Antonella focuses on helping people build confidence, cope with life changes and address intimacy and relationship concerns.
Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life. Sessions aim to identify strengths and small steps that make everyday life easier.
Background and approach
She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and looks for gentle ways to change them. Antonella draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take values-led action. She also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Internal Family Systems ideas to understand conflicting inner parts.
Practical tools, clear explanations and short exercises are common in her sessions. Work may include breathing and grounding techniques, thought records, values clarification, or simple behaviour experiments to test new ways of coping. People meet with Antonella to tackle a range of concerns including body image, codependency, grief, OCD symptoms, multicultural issues and end-of-life matters.
Her aim is to support clients in finding manageable changes that feel achievable and sustainable.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Antonella commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on what matters most, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test different ways of thinking and acting.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can be adjusted as you learn what helps, so the plan evolves based on what works for you.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for longer therapy conversations, phone can fit a short check-in during a work break, and text or chat suit brief updates or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family, work and other commitments while still using established therapeutic methods.
