About Anila
BACP counsellor with eight years' experience, Anila Babla helps people with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, anxiety, addictions and self-esteem. She also supports concerns such as chronic pain and illness, attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she accepts international clients.
Anila describes her work as psychodynamic and draws on creative ways to respond to difficulty. In practice this means noticing patterns learned in childhood and how they shape present reactions. She uses dialogue to surface those patterns and to try different responses that feel more effective in day-to-day life.
She often pairs talking with creative elements when that helps. This can give a different angle on painful memories or recurring difficulties. Her style is direct and exploratory, focusing on how past experiences affect current relationships and choices.
Anila also uses approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and trauma-focused work where they fit a person's needs. That might include noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, or working through traumatic memories at a manageable pace. The chosen approach is guided by what the person wants to achieve.
Sessions are set up to look at specific problems such as intimacy-related worries, career stress, or coping with a traumatic brain injury. She aims to help people develop coping strategies that suit their life and commitments. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, life changes and difficulties that keep someone stuck. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns repeat now; it can be useful for repeated relationship problems and long-standing reactions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic memories and responses in a paced way so that overwhelming reactions reduce over time.Choosing an approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then decide which methods to try together. Sessions can shift if something else seems a better fit as work continues.
The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or audio depending on their comfort and bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly work this way to help people manage relationships, trauma, stress and grief while balancing everyday commitments.
