Barbara Anzalone

Barbara Anzalone is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship concerns and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Barbara speaks English and Italian and accepts international clients.

Her approach is warm and practical. She treats people with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and adapts conversations to each person's needs. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing for the person. Barbara helps people build small, achievable changes rather than offering rigid programmes.

She regularly addresses issues that feed into feeling isolated, such as attachment difficulties, communication problems and struggles with self‑esteem. Work can include talking through painful memories, learning to recognise unhelpful patterns, and practising different ways of relating to others. She also supports people dealing with life transitions like divorce, pregnancy and changes in purpose.

Therapy is collaborative. Barbara and the person agree goals and review progress together. She aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow, using language that feels accessible rather than technical.

If someone is unsure how to begin, Barbara encourages taking one small step such as completing the short matching questionnaire and arranging an initial session. That first step is framed as part of a practical plan to improve daily coping and reconnect with others.

How her approaches translate to online work

Barbara uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then try small, concrete experiments to shift those patterns. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and repetitive relationship habits.

Another strand of her work concentrates on attachment and relational patterns. That means looking at how early connections shape current trust and communication, and practising different ways of relating in day‑to‑day life. This can reduce feelings of isolation and improve how people connect with others.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs, then choose techniques that fit. The aim is to find methods that feel useful and manageable, and to review progress together over time.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week and remove travel time. It can also allow for shorter check‑ins that suit a work break or quieter moments, and it can help people keep therapy going while living in a different country.
