Barbara Anzalone , BACP

Barbara Anzalone practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has four years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety and mood difficulties. Barbara is calm and direct in sessions and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She helps people talk through relationship concerns and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also works with issues around self-esteem, confidence and body image. Sessions are shaped to the individual, so conversations and goals are personal to each person’s needs.

Barbara pays attention to how attachment and abandonment worries can affect day-to-day life. She supports people coping with panic episodes and other anxiety-related difficulties. Pregnancy, childbirth and separation are among the life events she has helped people navigate.

Her approach is respectful and sensitive, with a focus on practical change. Barbara and the person she is working with set clear, manageable steps and check progress over time. This keeps work focused on what matters most to the client.

She offers therapy in English and Italian for people in the UK and internationally. Sessions are arranged using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online therapy and how they help

Barbara uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal-focused. One approach helps people learn to notice unhelpful thoughts and try alternative, more balanced thinking. This can be useful for anxiety, panic and low mood because it targets the thought patterns that fuel distress.

Another approach looks at how early attachment and abandonment concerns shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people recognise patterns in close relationships and practise different ways of connecting and communicating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and the problems they want to address. That choice may change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and to access support from different locations.
