About Anna

Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.

Her background includes performing arts and a range of therapies, which inform a flexible, client-focused way of working. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help people name patterns that cause distress. Conversations are direct and plain, aimed at practical changes rather than jargon.

Anna Rita pays attention to the existential and transpersonal sides of experience. That means she will often ask about values, meaning and the bigger questions people bring when stress or anger feels overwhelming. This can help when somebody wants to understand why they react the way they do.

In sessions she listens for attachment and relationship dynamics that shape reactions. From there she and the client try out short, doable changes in thinking and behaviour, and reflect on how past experiences may still influence current feelings.

Her work also covers practical life problems such as sleeping, eating, parenting pressures, caregiving stress and coping with grief. For people dealing with anger, she offers steady, focused conversation and practical tools to reduce reactivity and build more intentional responses.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. This approach supports anger work by keeping the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps identify recurring patterns in close relationships that can drive anger or resentment. Working with these patterns can reduce automatic reactivity over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person’s situation. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or remove the need to travel to an appointment. These practical benefits help people maintain regular contact with their counsellor while they work on anger, coping strategies and life changes.
