About Antonella
Antonella Mezzasalma is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Antonella also helps clients facing relationship and intimacy-related issues and life transitions.
She starts from the view that each person knows their own story best and brings strengths to difficult situations. Sessions focus on practical steps and everyday skills. Conversations aim to make problems feel more manageable and clearer, not overwhelming or abstract.
Her background includes work with a range of concerns such as attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems and control issues. She also supports people wrestling with guilt and shame, forgiveness, and the effects of domestic violence or divorce and separation. Antonella has experience with obsessions, compulsions and OCD related worries.
Antonella draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Internal Family Systems. She explains methods plainly and uses them to help people try small changes between sessions. The aim is to build skills for managing distress and strengthening what already works.
Sessions are offered in English and Italian. Practical matters like cost and scheduling follow the platform process, which uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm the current session options before booking.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Antonella commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter, helping people carry difficult thoughts without those thoughts stopping life. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.
The platform handles scheduling and payments via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; specific session formats are not listed in her biography so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform can adapt sessions to fit quieter or busier days and to support steady progress without requiring a fixed in-person routine.
