Antonella Stacchiotti, BACP

Antonella Stacchiotti greets people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or major life changes. She aims to make the first steps easier by offering calm, respectful support and practical ways to cope. Antonella uses plain language and a steady approach so conversations feel clear and purposeful. With 14 years of experience she has worked with people facing trauma, abuse, grief and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, chronic pain or illness, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress and questions about life purpose and women’s issues. In sessions Antonella tailors the conversation to each person’s needs. She works alongside clients to set realistic goals and to build strategies that fit day-to-day life. The emphasis is on practical steps that help reduce distress and increase a sense of control. Antonella describes her manner as respectful, sensitive and compassionate. She supports people as they explore change, recover from difficult events, or find ways to cope with ongoing health challenges. Her approach balances emotional support with concrete tools for managing symptoms. Her work is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and in attentive listening. People who prefer sessions in English or Italian can speak in either language. Before booking it is sensible to confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How evidence-based approaches can work online

Antonella draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and increase coping. One common approach focuses on practical skills for managing anxiety and panic - learning breathing and grounding exercises, and spotting the thoughts that fuel panic. Another approach addresses trauma and grief by helping people make sense of painful experiences and gradually build tolerance for difficult memories and feelings. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and feedback. If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow sessions from wherever you are based in the United Kingdom. It can also let people choose simpler check-ins when they need a shorter appointment or have limited bandwidth for video. Registered or accredited professionals can guide this choice and plan sessions that suit everyday life.
