Anna Rita Iaboni
Therapist offering attachment-informed counselling
About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni uses a client-centred and attachment-informed approach to guide people through difficult life moments. She combines caring conversation with practical steps so people can feel steadier. Anna Rita is a BACP counsellor and speaks English and Italian.
She works from the United Kingdom and brings five years of practice to each session. She draws on client-centred work to listen deeply and follow the pace a person needs. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships, intimacy or abandonment feel painful.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when thoughts and routines need reshaping to reduce anxiety or low mood. Anna Rita helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and coping with big life changes. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and attention differences such as ADHD.
Her additional focus includes body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency and communication problems. Sessions blend reflective discussion with practical tools. People can expect a mix of talking, noticing patterns and trying small, doable changes between meetings.
The overall aim is more clarity, steadier moods and better ways to handle triggers that used to feel overwhelming. Her background in performing arts and holistic therapies informs a transpersonal outlook, which honours existential and spiritual concerns when they arise. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire before scheduling their first session.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this lens help people understand attachment wounds and practise different ways of relating to others. Client-centred therapy centres on listening and reflecting; the counsellor follows the person's lead and helps them find their own solutions through empathic conversation. Cognitive behavioural therapy, offered as needed, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how each method might help, and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process means the approach can shift over time if a different method suits better.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and support continuity when life circumstances change.
