Barbara Anzalone

Barbara Anzalone is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on core concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. Barbara aims to meet people where they are and to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Her approach is practical and person-centred. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are intended to help people understand what’s driving their feelings and to try manageable steps that can make daily life easier.

Barbara also pays attention to issues that often sit alongside mental health problems. These include body image, attachment and abandonment worries, guilt and shame, isolation, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from separation or divorce. She offers support around pregnancy, childbirth and parenting concerns too.

People can expect straightforward dialogue and a focus on small, realistic changes. Barbara works with clients to clarify goals and to track progress over time. Her practice aims to create a steady, respectful space for people to talk through difficult experiences and to build stronger coping skills.

Therapy is offered in English and Italian, and international clients may be accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

Approaches that guide online conversations

Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions in simple, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural changes; this helps with anxiety, low mood and panic symptoms by building clearer thinking and safer action. Another approach concentrates on understanding attachment and relationship patterns, looking at how early experiences affect present relationships and communication, which can ease feelings of abandonment and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then choose techniques that fit. This is a collaborative process where plans can be adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow quicker access to support from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is helpful or quieter, longer sessions when deeper reflection is needed.
