About Anna
Anna Rita Iaboni is a BACP counsellor who brings a thoughtful, person-focused style to end-of-life and hospice-related conversations. She uses straightforward language and listens carefully to what matters most to each person. Sessions are offered in English and Italian, and she aims to match the pace and priorities of whoever comes to talk.
Her background includes performing arts and holistic therapies, which inform a transpersonal view of care. That means she pays attention to spiritual and existential questions as well as everyday worries. She draws on several approaches to shape conversations, choosing whatever fits the issue at hand.
Anna Rita works with a wide range of concerns, from grief and compassion fatigue to anxiety, trauma, relationship problems and changes that come with ageing or illness. She also supports people facing struggles with addiction, body image, sexual expression, and caregiving stress. Her practice emphasises respect, sensitivity and a non-judgemental tone.
Sessions combine practical conversation with reflective listening. She helps people talk through coping strategies, communication problems and decisions that feel heavy. The focus is on small, manageable steps rather than sudden fixes.
Her approach is collaborative: plans and goals are shaped together. She encourages people to explore values and meaning, and to find ways to feel steadier day to day. To begin, readers are invited to use the platform process to match and schedule a first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and safety in emotional connection; it helps when trust, closeness or separation cause distress and supports people through loss or changing roles. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's priorities at the centre of the work by using listening, reflection and acceptance to help someone clarify choices and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the individual to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can change as the work progresses.
Session options are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current formats before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help on days when someone needs a lower-key conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can guide practical arrangements to fit everyday life.
