About Antonello
He trained and practised originally in Italy and has worked in Italian mental health services. He has more than three years of professional experience and has recently worked within NHS services in the United Kingdom. He holds HCPC registration, which appears as HCPC in his credentials.
His way of working mixes practical techniques with deeper conversation. He uses cognitive behavioural methods to tackle unhelpful thinking. He draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that still affect the present. He also incorporates motivational interviewing and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy when they suit the work.
Sessions focus on what will make a real difference day to day. That might mean building coping skills, addressing relationship patterns, tackling workplace stress, or clarifying career direction. He pays attention to cultural background and life story when shaping each plan.
He aims to meet people where they are, adapt his approach, and work collaboratively towards clear goals. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How his approaches translate to online work
Antonello commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing alongside psychodynamic ideas. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to ease symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build commitment to goals. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship patterns and background experiences that influence present feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what to try first. The therapist adapts techniques as progress is reviewed, so methods can shift from practical skill-building to deeper reflection when it suits the client.
The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can fit into a busy week and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work, provide a shorter check-in when needed, and allow conversations without commuting, which helps people maintain consistency while working toward their goals.
