Antonella Mezzasalma, BACP

Antonella Mezzasalma is credentialed in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience supporting people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation struggles, low self-esteem and depression. She holds BACP membership, which indicates recognition by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and a commitment to established professional standards. Antonella works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can be harnessed to overcome the challenges that arise.

She views seeking help as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life and aims to offer steady support and empowerment throughout that journey. Her practice focuses on helping clients identify practical steps, build coping skills, and strengthen confidence so they can move toward meaningful change. Antonella fosters a collaborative working relationship, helping people set goals and explore options that fit their values and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Antonella commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to shift them, which often helps with anxiety, low mood, and everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Antonella works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so clients can try techniques and adjust the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel, and they allow clients to choose the format that best suits their schedule and comfort. Note that Antonella does not currently work with international clients.
