About Anila
Anila Babla is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns and codependency. She also supports people facing stress, career questions, self-esteem problems and life transitions.
Anila draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that began in early life and still shape current choices. She also uses trauma-focused work to address painful experiences and their ongoing effects. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy informs practical work on values and coping when feelings are overwhelming.
Sessions are conversational and straightforward. She listens, reflects what she hears and helps people spot repeated responses they no longer want to carry. Creative approaches were part of her background and may be suggested for people who find non-verbal ways of working useful.
Anila names abandonment and attachment issues among her focuses and will talk through how those show up in relationships and daily life. She also supports people managing chronic illness or pain, somatic symptoms and the emotional impact of traumatic brain injury.
She offers therapy in English and Italian and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session using the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Anila uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small actions in line with those values, even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and patterns like people-pleasing that keep someone stuck.Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship patterns and early experiences that shape current choices. Online conversations can surface those patterns so a person sees how they operate and can try different responses.
Trauma-focused work focuses on addressing past harm and its ongoing impact on the body and behaviour. It aims to reduce the ways trauma keeps affecting daily life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a way of working together. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so methods can be adjusted.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and removing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular contact during busy weeks and allow people to choose quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the current session options before booking to check how appointments are scheduled.
