About Antonella
Antonella Mezzasalma is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She draws on a few clear methods to help people make small, steady changes. Antonella has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
She believes each person knows their story best and taps into those strengths during sessions. Conversations focus on what is getting in the way now and on simple steps to move forward. Sessions are offered in English and Italian for people based in the United Kingdom.
Her work often covers difficult life events such as trauma, relationship and intimacy-related problems, divorce and separation, and coping with major changes. She also addresses issues like attachment, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and loneliness. Antonella supports people facing hospice and end-of-life concerns as well as those dealing with obsessive or compulsive patterns.
Her approach mixes practical skills and reflective work. Cognitive-behavioural tools help with thoughts and behaviours, while acceptance-based strategies support living alongside difficult feelings. Internal Family Systems ideas are used to notice different parts of the self without judgement. This blend aims to help people clarify values, build coping skills and reconnect with what matters to them.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are not currently accepted.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Antonella commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises for managing symptoms such as worry or unhelpful thinking.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to test methods, adjust techniques and agree what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. Sessions aim to be flexible so that methods are gradually tailored as needs change.
If you are considering online therapy, check what session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirmed details about formats are provided when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on busier days. It can also allow sessions without video when bandwidth is limited or when a brief phone check-in suits the day better.
