About Antonella
Antonella Mezzasalma is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with self-esteem and motivation. Antonella speaks English and Italian and aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.
She believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. Sessions are framed around helping clients notice those strengths and use them to face hard things.
Background and approach
The tone is supportive and encouraging rather than prescriptive. In the room she offers approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Internal Family Systems. These approaches are used to help with patterns of thought, emotional regulation, unhelpful behaviours and relationship difficulties.
The work is practical and focused on what will make daily life easier. Antonella also pays attention to issues such as attachment, body image, codependency, communication and control problems. She can assist with separation and divorce, domestic violence, fatherhood concerns, grief and end-of-life matters, and obsessive or compulsive behaviour.
The therapist aims to support people who want a clearer sense of purpose, fewer painful emotions and better ways to cope. She invites prospective clients to consider small, steady steps and to use therapy as a space to build new habits and routines.

How Antonella works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made if something does not feel like a good fit.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. They also permit using worksheets, recordings and in-session exercises that translate well to a virtual setting. Many people find these practical benefits help them sustain regular sessions and apply what they learn between meetings.
