About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talking therapy with life coaching. She draws on her background in performing arts and holistic therapies to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she works from the United Kingdom.
Her approach pays attention to personal meaning and the deeper questions people bring to therapy. She uses client-centred listening so people feel heard, and combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to manage thoughts and behaviours. Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and past experiences.
Anna Rita aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person. She encourages a steady pace and works with whatever someone brings, whether that be low mood, sleep problems, issues with intimacy, or struggles with identity and sexuality. She also supports people dealing with burnout, compassion fatigue and coping after disruptive events like natural or human-caused disasters.
Her five years of practice include helping people address eating and body image concerns, addiction-related patterns, and difficulties with communication and commitment. She describes herself as respectful and compassionate, and tries to create a space where difficult topics can be examined without rush.
People who choose her often want to explore both practical change and deeper meaning. She invites prospective clients to consider what they want to change and to take a first step when ready.
Approach-based online counselling and practical support
Anna Rita commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural methods. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and empathy, helping people feel understood while they make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours affect mood and offers concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on attachment-based thinking to understand how early relationship patterns shape current difficulties. This approach can help with issues such as intimacy, communication problems and how people respond to stress or loss. Together these approaches combine practical techniques and deeper reflection to address both immediate problems and underlying patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences, and they will try different ways of working to see what helps most. Decisions about focus and techniques are made with the client rather than imposed on them.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue work while living in different parts of the UK, provided the chosen format matches practical needs and schedules.
