About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She offers talking therapy in English and Italian and supports people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, codependency, addictions and issues around self-esteem and life changes.
She draws on several psychological approaches and practical conversation to help people make sense of recurring patterns. Sessions focus on what is happening now, and on how earlier attachments and beliefs still influence everyday choices. That can look like noticing how people-pleasing or fear of abandonment turn up in relationships, or learning to name and set clearer personal boundaries.
Her style is client-centred and attachment-informed. She uses elements of cognitive behavioural work to test out new ways of thinking and behaving, and psychodynamic ideas to map how past experiences shape present feelings. Existential themes may arise when people face big life questions or loss.
In sessions she listens for patterns and offers straightforward tools for coping with anxiety, managing low mood, or dealing with grief and caregiver stress. Practical suggestions may include small behaviour experiments, clearer communication steps, or reflection on relationship history.
People can expect conversational sessions that move between exploring feelings and trying practical steps. To begin, clients follow the service’s matching process and book a first session where they can set goals and check how the counsellor's approach fits their needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional patterns. In online sessions this helps people notice why they react strongly to closeness or rejection and practise different responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and aims to create a conversational space for people to speak about what matters most. It supports exploration of values, identity and issues like people-pleasing. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to try between sessions. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That discussion typically happens in the first few sessions and can be adjusted as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, keep appointments during busy weeks and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows a focus on exercises and communication practice between sessions so people can apply what they try in everyday situations.
