Barbara Anzalone, BACP

Barbara Anzalone is a BACP-credentialed therapist practicing in the United Kingdom with 4 years of professional experience. She supports people managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression, and adapts conversations and planning to each person’s needs. Fluent in English and Italian, she is available to work with clients in the UK and internationally.

Barbara approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a collaborative environment where clients feel heard and supported. She tailors dialogue and treatment to individual goals, drawing on evidence-based techniques to address issues such as panic attacks, mood disorders, attachment and abandonment concerns, and challenges around self-love and body image.

Her practice also focuses on relationship communication, processing loss or separation, and building confidence when guilt or shame are present. Barbara emphasizes practical strategies alongside reflective work so clients can notice change in daily life while exploring deeper patterns.

Recognizing that beginning therapy requires courage, she acknowledges and affirms that first step and offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit varying schedules and preferences.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Barbara uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help clients change patterns that maintain stress and anxiety. One approach focuses on identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and developing coping skills to reduce worry and improve mood - useful for anxiety, panic, and depression. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed work that helps people process painful experiences and build safety and emotional regulation after abuse or loss. A third strand of her work concentrates on relationship and communication skills, helping clients navigate attachment issues, separation, and conflict with clearer boundaries and expression.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Barbara collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible access to care for those with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional and to fit therapy into everyday life.
