About Antonello
Antonello Sirigu is a HCPC-registered practitioner with three years of professional experience. He works in the United Kingdom and supports adults with stress, anxiety, career concerns, depression, coping with life changes and coaching, including issues of guilt and shame.
He brings experience from mental health services in Italy and the UK and has worked in hospitals, charities and university settings. He offers one-to-one conversations that focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Sessions look at how thoughts, relationships and past experiences shape current feelings and choices.
His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems. In practice that means mixing talking about past patterns with skills to manage strong feelings and with guided reflection on inner parts of the self. He also uses coaching techniques for career and performance issues.
Antonello pays attention to cultural background and migration experiences. He has worked with people facing immigration stress, workplace bullying, and life transitions such as ageing or end-of-life matters. He will talk through expectations and plan each session with clear aims.
Sessions use a short matching questionnaire to begin and proceed by scheduling a first meeting. Fees vary with location and operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted at present.
How Antonello uses therapeutic approaches online
A core part of his practice is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality, and it is useful for anxiety, depression and stress related to work or life changes.He also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to help manage intense emotions. DBT teaches concrete techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation which can be helpful when guilt or shame feel overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches together and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins by phone if needed. Registered professionals can adapt techniques such as CBT worksheets or DBT skills training to remote sessions to keep progress moving without requiring travel.
