Antonello Sirigu

Antonello Sirigu welcomes adults who are feeling stuck, isolated, anxious or overwhelmed. He explains things clearly and offers steady support while people talk through stress, career worries, loneliness and life changes. He aims to make the first steps feel manageable and practical.

Sirigu trained in Italy and has worked in Italian mental health services before moving to the United Kingdom. He holds HCPC registration and has around three years of professional experience across clinical and community settings. He has worked in NHS mental health services, charities, universities and day treatment centres.

In sessions he draws on a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems to guide conversations and tasks. This mix is used to help people understand patterns, try out new ways of coping and rebuild connections with others.

Practical concerns such as work stress, career direction, bullying at work, migration-related strain and end-of-life matters are within his stated focus areas. He also lists support for isolation and loneliness alongside attachment and family-of-origin themes. The aim is to tailor the work to what each person needs, whether that means clearer short-term coping or deeper exploration.

Sessions are offered in English and the therapist describes a culturally sensitive approach that respects diverse backgrounds. People who want to explore whether his style fits can use the site process to match and book a first appointment.

How Antonello’s approaches translate to online therapy

Antonello commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy as part of his work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical actions to change them, which can ease anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy emphasises skills for emotional regulation and managing intense feelings, and can be useful when someone struggles with overwhelm or repeated crises.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the mix of methods over time. That collaborative planning helps people find a pace and focus that suit their needs.

Details about session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work. It can also allow different types of tasks to be tried between sessions, such as structured practice or brief coaching exercises that support coping with isolation and life transitions.
