About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who combines talking therapies with life coaching. She draws on a background in performing arts and holistic approaches to include spiritual and existential themes in conversations. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and are guided by respect, sensitivity and compassion.
She adapts each plan to the person in front of her. That means using different therapeutic ideas depending on the problem and the person's pace.
Background and approach
Practical coping skills and reflective conversation are both used alongside attention to values and meaning. Her work covers common worries such as stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue and challenges around intimacy, relationships and parenting.
Other focus areas include body image, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness, attachment and abandonment concerns. Anna Rita uses a range of approaches including attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. She also draws on existential and psychodynamic ideas when they help make sense of a person’s history and choices.
Sessions aim to balance immediate support with deeper understanding. With five years of practice, she frames therapy as a collaborative process. The emphasis is on listening carefully, tailoring the approach, and helping people find manageable steps forward.
To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Anna works online
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out practical changes in behaviour. These methods tend to suit worries like anxiety, low mood, sleep and coping with life changes. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process and the therapist will work with the person to decide which approaches best match their needs and goals.
The practical benefits of online work can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel constraints. The biography does not specify which session formats are available, so please confirm current options before booking. The focus is on making therapy fit into everyday life and on working together to find manageable steps forward.
