About Barbara
Barbara Anzalone is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Italian. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties.
Her practice also covers trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence, and a range of related concerns such as panic attacks, attachment and abandonment issues, and body image.
Background and approach
She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation, keeping sessions respectful and compassionate. The focus is on practical steps people can try between meetings. Barbara aims to make the first steps easier for people who are nervous about starting therapy.
She uses straightforward language and a calm approach to build trust. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit each person. She helps people think through communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or lack of purpose.
She also supports people dealing with divorce or separation and the emotional impact of pregnancy and childbirth. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better day-to-day coping. Barbara will work with clients to create a plan that fits their life and goals.
She encourages people to bring practical examples from their week so work in sessions stays grounded. If you want an approachable counsellor who speaks English or Italian, she may be a good match.

How Barbara works online
Another approach she uses helps people process trauma and abuse by creating a safer way to tell difficult experiences and by teaching grounding and emotion-regulation strategies. These techniques aim to reduce intense reactions and support steadier daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options and try methods that match your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as you progress.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when quieter surroundings or avoiding video are preferable, but check what formats are available with the therapist first.
