About Anna

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who blends talking therapy and life coaching to help people make practical changes. She draws on her background in performing arts and holistic therapies to offer a thoughtful, personalised way of working. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, and on more specific areas like trauma, addictions, grief and intimacy-related issues, including sexual dysfunction. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family tensions, caregiving strain, body image and eating or sleeping difficulties.

Her approach uses a mix of methods. Client-centred work keeps the conversation led by the person in the room. Attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Anna Rita aims to move at each person’s pace and to tailor sessions to the issues they bring. She uses life coaching tools alongside therapeutic conversation to set realistic goals and track small steps forward. Practical coping strategies are paired with space to talk about feelings and meaning.

People can expect respectful, sensitive support that honours spirituality and personal values as part of healing. The emphasis is on clear, manageable changes and on helping people feel steadier in daily life.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections; online sessions can help people notice repeated interaction styles and make different choices. Client-centred therapy means the conversation follows the person’s priorities, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection to clarify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms and improve routines.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, preferences and the issues they bring. Discussions and practical tasks are adjusted as therapy goes on so the plan stays relevant.

The biography does not state which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people try therapy from a familiar setting and carry new habits back into everyday routines.
