About Barbara

Barbara Anzalone helps people work on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. She uses straightforward conversation and practical steps to address immediate problems and recurring difficulties. Barbara is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her work often begins with identifying what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes. She talks through patterns that keep problems going and suggests ways to try things differently between sessions.

Barbara also gives attention to issues linked to attachment and abandonment, and to experiences of guilt, shame and isolation. She will discuss how relationship dynamics and communication problems affect mood and daily life. She can address concerns connected to pregnancy and childbirth, body image and self-love.

She adapts the pace of work to each person, balancing listening with practical suggestions. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted when needed. Sessions are conducted in English and Italian for those who prefer either language.

To begin, people can use the service's matching process and schedule a first appointment. Barbara supports international clients and works with individuals to set clear aims for their counselling.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Barbara describes her practice as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical, goal-centred work. One approach is short-term problem-focused work that helps identify a current difficulty, break it into manageable steps and test small changes between sessions. This suits issues like panic attacks, acute anxiety and situational stress.

Another common approach she uses looks at patterns in relationships and attachment. This involves talking through how past relationships influence present behaviour and learning different ways to communicate and set boundaries, which can help with relationship strain, abandonment worries and low self-esteem.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and agree which approaches match the person’s needs, goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins that do not require travel, or let people use a shorter session when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer these practical benefits while working with you to meet your aims.
