Anila Babla, BACP

Anila Babla is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strains, trauma, grief and the stress of long-term health challenges. She supports those coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, and the practical fallout of life changes. She offers a steady, non-judgemental listening presence and aims to help people find clearer ways forward.

Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that began in early life. She uses this to help people notice repeated responses and try different choices. She also values creative ways of working, bringing expressive tools into sessions when helpful.

People can expect a collaborative approach that honours individuality and integrity. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how past experiences shape current reactions. The aim is to move from pain into practical coping that supports fuller living.

With eight years’ experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, she combines reflective talk with practical steps. She often addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and communication problems alongside chronic pain or illness challenges.

Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she accepts international clients. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to start, then schedule sessions to suit their situation. The emphasis is on working together to find the right pace and approach for each person.

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then to commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on patterns that began in earlier relationships and helps people see how those patterns turn up now, which can be useful for attachment, abandonment and intimacy issues. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing distressing events so the impact on day-to-day life is reduced, which can support recovery from abuse or significant injury.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try out different ways of working to see what fits. This is a collaborative process that adapts as understanding grows and needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time so it is easier to keep regular appointments. Some formats need less bandwidth or are shorter check-ins, which can suit a tight day. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to know what is available and which will best match everyday routines.
