Anila Babla, BACP

Anila Babla provides a listening ear and a non-judgmental space for people facing life’s unexpected challenges. She recognises that many reactions take root in early childhood and can persist as habitual ways of responding to stress, relationships and change. Working primarily in a psychodynamic way, she helps clients explore those early patterns and how they influence present-day feelings and behaviours. As a trained art therapist, she also values creative approaches that allow emotions and experiences to be expressed and explored beyond words.

Anila believes in empowering people to find their own answers and supports a collaborative process focused on integrity, difference and meaningful connection. She is prepared to accompany clients through difficult emotional material and to sit with discomfort when it serves the therapeutic work, helping to develop practical coping strategies for living more fully.

Anila holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She practices from the United Kingdom, provides therapy in English and Italian, and accepts international clients.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. In practice it helps people notice unhelpful patterns, build psychological flexibility, and pursue a more value-driven life.

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence current emotions and behaviour. Through reflective exploration of past and present dynamics, it aims to increase self-understanding and change repetitive relational patterns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is designed to address the impacts of traumatic experiences and abuse by helping people process memories and symptoms and work toward greater stability and coping. It is often used when people are seeking structured ways to understand and move through the effects of trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anila works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, geographical constraints or mobility limits. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations and to continue work consistently even when life circumstances change.
