About Anila
Anila Babla helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, depression and stress. She also supports those dealing with intimacy concerns, addictions, low self‑esteem, career uncertainty and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she works with international clients from the United Kingdom.
Anila uses a psychodynamic approach to understand patterns that started in early life. She values exploring how past experiences shape current reactions.
How Anila works
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at making those patterns clearer and more workable. She also draws on trauma‑focused therapy when past events continue to affect day‑to‑day life. That approach helps people make sense of painful memories and reduce their hold on present behaviour.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to build practical habits that match a person's values and goals. Anila describes herself as willing to sit with discomfort and to walk alongside someone through hard places. She encourages creative ways to cope and has experience integrating artistic approaches into sessions.
The aim is to turn pain into coping skills that help people take part in life more fully. Her practice is conversational and direct, with an emphasis on safety and respect. People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions, clear suggestions to try between meetings, and a focus on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It uses simple exercises to build new habits and reduce avoidance, useful for anxiety, depression and low motivation.Psychodynamic therapy looks at long‑standing patterns that come from earlier relationships and life stages. It helps people see repeated reactions and make different choices in day‑to‑day life, which can ease relationship and attachment issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which method to try first. That choice can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is good for in‑depth conversations and visual connection, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check‑ins and text messaging can fit around a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit sessions into work, care duties or travel.
