About Antonella
Antonella Stacchiotti helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief or major life changes. She introduces gentle, steady support and focuses on building confidence and coping skills. Antonella uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable from the start.
With 14 years of practice in the United Kingdom, Antonella holds BACP registration, which indicates professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
How Antonella works
She adapts her conversations and plans to suit each person's needs, and she pays attention to sensitivity and respect throughout the work. Her areas of focus include self-esteem, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues, alongside concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and communication problems.
She also supports people living with chronic pain, illness or disability as they adjust to changes in daily life. Sessions aim to identify what is most troubling and then build practical ways to cope. Antonella encourages small steps that fit into everyday life, helping people find clearer priorities and more manageable routines.
People can expect a collaborative relationship where the plan is reviewed as progress is made. The emphasis is on pragmatic strategies, emotional support and helping clients regain a sense of control over difficult situations.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Antonella uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and emotional processing. One common approach helps people learn specific skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks, such as paced breathing and step‑by‑step exposure to feared situations; this reduces the immediate intensity of panic and builds confidence over time. Another approach concentrates on processing trauma and loss by creating a safe narrative of difficult events and then working gradually to reduce their hold on daily life; this can help lower reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, needs and preferences and then try methods that fit the person's situation. That collaborative process means plans are reviewed and adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let participants use visual cues and a more personal connection, while phone sessions can be a good option if bandwidth is limited or a simpler check‑in is needed. Live chat and text‑based messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day and to reflect between sessions. These formats increase flexibility, making it simpler to keep therapy going alongside work, family and health commitments.
