About Antonella
Antonella Stacchiotti is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with panic, post-traumatic stress, relationship and communication difficulties, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Antonella keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people name the specific thoughts and patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations focus on what can change now and on small steps that make daily life easier.
Her background includes many years helping people manage loss, chronic illness and the ripple effects of trauma. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, intrusive memories and low self-worth. Work often includes building skills to tolerate distress, notice unhelpful thinking, and practice new ways of relating to oneself and others.
Antonella conducts sessions in English and Italian. She asks for clear goals at the start and reviews progress as therapy unfolds. Practical plans, brief exercises and real-life practice are common parts of the work.
To begin, she asks people to describe what they most want to change. That helps shape what happens in sessions and keeps the focus on manageable, real-world steps rather than abstract ideas.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Antonella draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, behaviours and emotional processing. Cognitive approaches help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative ways of thinking; these methods can be useful for anxiety, guilt and low self-worth. Trauma-focused methods help process distressing memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day life; they are often used for post-traumatic stress and intrusive memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different techniques and help the person decide what fits their situation and goals. This is collaborative - goals and preferences guide which methods are tried and reviewed over time.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments and caregiving by removing travel time and offering more scheduling flexibility. They also allow for shorter check-ins when that suits the day, or for sessions without video if someone prefers less bandwidth or a quieter interaction. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and real-life practice to work well in remote sessions.
