Anna Rita Iaboni, BACP

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP-registered therapeutic counsellor and life coach who brings a background in performing arts and holistic therapies to her clinical work. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she integrates a transpersonal perspective that recognises spiritual and existential dimensions of human experience alongside psychological and practical concerns.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans around individual needs. Her practice draws on a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to offer flexible support, whether the aim is to manage specific difficulties or to foster deeper self-awareness.

Sessions are offered in English and Italian, and she seeks to create a nurturing environment where people can explore difficult or hidden areas at a pace that feels right for them. Anna Rita emphasises collaboration and steady progress, supporting clients as they take the often courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Anna Rita combines attachment-based work with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to meet a range of needs. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of relating and how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and relationship difficulties. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting the person with empathy and acceptance, creating space for self-exploration and growth that supports issues like self-esteem and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Anna Rita works collaboratively with clients to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different models as needed, helping people discover what feels most helpful for them.

Online therapy with Anna Rita is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that best supports each person’s circumstances.
