About Antonella
Counsellor (BACP), 3 years experience. Antonella Mezzasalma focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem, and depression. She works with relationship and intimacy concerns and supports people facing life changes using approaches she lists in her practice.
Antonella uses practical talking and reflective work to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She treats problems such as panic, low mood, and overwhelming worry by breaking them into manageable steps. Sessions aim to identify what matters to each person and build small, concrete changes a client can try between meetings.
Her practice includes methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at how different parts of someone’s experience interact. These approaches are used to address issues such as attachment, body image, codependency and compulsive behaviours.
Antonella pays attention to how life events affect daily routines and relationships. She helps people who are navigating divorce, separation, fatherhood concerns, end‑of‑life issues, or who feel isolated. Work can include communication practice, exploring guilt or shame, and making plans to manage difficult feelings.
Sessions are offered in English and Italian in the United Kingdom. The practice notes BACP as the listed credential and three years of professional experience. Prospective clients are asked to follow the contact process to confirm current session options and booking details.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and making clearer life choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is commonly chosen for depression, anxiety and obsessive or compulsive difficulties, and it usually includes day‑to‑day exercises. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will decide which methods fit a client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adapted as needs change. Confirm the current session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check‑ins between face‑to‑face appointments. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and any subscription details when arranging the first appointment.Sheet 3
