About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends existential thinking with practical therapy. She draws on life coaching and a background in performing arts to help people make sense of what matters to them. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and aim to meet each person’s pace and needs.
Her work begins by listening carefully to what feels important and worrying in a person's life. She uses existential ideas to look at meaning, loss, choice and responsibility alongside other approaches.
Background and approach
That helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship or identity issues to find clearer direction. Anna Rita also draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to build trust and a stronger sense of self. Cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic ideas are used when they help explain patterns of thought or behaviour.
She adapts methods to the problem at hand rather than following a single script. Practical issues such as sleep, eating, pain or coping after trauma are addressed with straightforward strategies and steady conversation. Parents and carers can bring concerns about family dynamics or caregiver stress and expect a calm, respectful tone.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. People who are wrestling with change, identity, or long-standing patterns may find this combination useful. The aim is practical insight and manageable steps forward.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling
Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and the practical impact of life changes. It helps people facing questions about identity, mortality, purpose or major loss to clarify what matters and decide on next steps.Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feeling safe with others and yourself. It can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, communication, abandonment fears or repeating relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's experience and pace, offering empathic listening and reflection to build self-awareness and confidence.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will adapt methods as sessions progress. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client’s immediate concerns and longer-term aims.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when interaction matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, reflection between sessions or people who prefer writing over talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into day-to-day life while still working with an experienced, registered professional.
