About Antonella
Counsellor and BACP member Antonella Stacchiotti has 14 years of experience supporting people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She speaks English and Italian. Antonella aims to make the first contact clear and direct so people know what to expect.
Antonella works with people who are struggling with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and the effects of past abandonment or attachment issues. She also helps those coping with chronic pain, illness or disability, and people facing guilt, shame or questions about life purpose. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps to manage difficult feelings.
Her way of working is straightforward. She listens to what the person brings and then discusses options for how to proceed. That might include regular weekly conversations, shorter check-ins or agreed practical exercises between sessions. Decisions about length and focus are made together.
Antonella uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, anxiety and grief. She explains approaches in plain language and checks in about progress as therapy continues. The aim is to help people build clearer coping strategies and better day-to-day routines.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Antonella uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anxiety, trauma and grief. For anxiety and panic she applies approaches that focus on managing symptoms and reducing avoidance, using practical exercises to lower arousal and regain confidence in daily activities. For trauma and post-traumatic stress she works with methods that help people process distressing memories and learn coping skills for intrusive thoughts and flashbacks.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses different methods with each person and decides together which fits best for current needs, goals and preferences. The approach can be reviewed and changed as progress is made.
If you are considering online counselling with her, please confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with her when you book about how to shape sessions so they fit into your everyday schedule.
