About Barbara
Barbara Anzalone is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP registration, and she offers a calm, respectful approach for people facing anxiety and life stress. She aims to make first steps feel manageable for those who are worried about starting therapy.
Barbara works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports people coping with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and confidence. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among the areas she helps with alongside mood-related problems and post-traumatic stress.
Her style is direct and compassionate. She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and build coping skills for day-to-day life.
Barbara also addresses topics like attachment and abandonment worries, body image, communication and control issues. She helps people working through divorce, guilt, shame and feelings of isolation or lack of purpose. Pregnancy, childbirth and self-love are additional areas she supports.
She offers sessions in English and Italian and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches and online working that support anxiety and panic
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for anxiety focus on understanding triggers and learning ways to respond differently. For example, a therapy that teaches structured coping skills helps people recognise thought patterns and practise calmer responses during panic or high anxiety. This approach is useful when the aim is to reduce immediate symptoms and build day-to-day strategies.Another common technique involves working on problem areas in relationships and attachment that can keep anxiety going. This kind of work looks at communication patterns and emotional responses, helping people change how they relate to others and to themselves. It can be helpful for panic linked to relational stress or fear of abandonment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your situation and preferences, then suggest methods that fit your goals. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and can be adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, avoid travel time and access support from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-based contact when that better suits a busy day.
