About Antonello

Antonello Sirigu offers an approachable place to talk about anxiety, stress and the everyday worries that can become overwhelming. He works with adults who are struggling with panic, general anxiety, low mood or major life changes. Sessions aim to help people find practical ways to manage symptoms and regain a sense of control.

He trained and practised in Italy before continuing professional development in the United Kingdom, and now works in London. Antonello has three years of professional experience in mental health settings, including NHS services and Italian mental health services. He has supported people facing immigration and workplace stress, grief around end of life, and difficulties linked to family of origin and attachment issues.

His way of working mixes talking therapy with evidence-informed techniques. He draws on cognitive behavioural work to map thoughts and behaviours, and dialectical techniques to build coping strategies. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at relationship patterns and internal family systems thinking to understand different parts of a person’s experience.

Sessions are tailored to each person. Antonello aims to be sensitive to cultural background and to adapt the pace and tools to what the person needs. He describes therapy as collaborative and focuses on clear goals, whether that is easing panic attacks, improving work performance, or finding life purpose.

He holds HCPC registration and offers therapy in English. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their availability.

How Antonello blends therapy approaches for online work

Antonello draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas to support people working through anxiety and panic. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep distress going and on practising small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship patterns and emotional habits, helping people understand how past experiences shape present responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with each person and agree a plan together. That way the therapy can shift between skills-based work and deeper reflection as needed, and the client stays involved in deciding what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions can be arranged to suit quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections if that is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use online work to offer flexible ways to continue therapy while managing everyday life.
