About Barbara
Counsellor and BACP member, Barbara Anzalone has four years of professional work in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she accepts international clients.
Barbara focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens to what is happening now and looks at how past experiences, including attachment and abandonment, affect current feelings. Common topics she addresses include panic and mood disorders, guilt and shame, and difficulties around communication and control.
Her work covers relationship concerns such as divorce and separation, and life changes like pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports people dealing with isolation, body image, and finding a sense of purpose. Sessions aim to be clear and task-focused when that helps, or more open when reflection is needed.
Barbara explains issues plainly and helps clients notice patterns that keep problems going. She offers options for discussing forgiveness, rebuilding self-love, and managing panic attacks. Progress is worked out together through regular review and simple actions between sessions.
She asks people to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Payment is handled via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. This gives a straightforward route to beginning work on the concerns above.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Barbara describes her work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each concern. One approach she commonly draws on is structured, task-focused work that helps break problems into manageable steps and builds simple coping tools for anxiety and panic. Another approach is reflective discussion that looks at how past attachment and abandonment issues influence current relationships and self-worth.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Barbara will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit. She revisits the plan as you progress so the method can change if needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family by removing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day, or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals using online working can offer the same conversational and practical support as face-to-face work, with the focus on fitting therapy into everyday life rather than on the delivery method.
