Antonella Stacchiotti, BACP

Antonella Stacchiotti is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience supporting adults through difficult life moments. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and the challenges of major life changes, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's specific needs and goals. Antonella holds BACP, the credential of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a space where clients can explore experiences such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and issues tied to chronic illness or pain. Her practice also addresses communication problems, feelings of guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose, with attention to women's issues when relevant.

Antonella aims to empower clients to take the courageous first steps toward a more fulfilling life. She combines practical strategies and collaborative dialogue to build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and support recovery from past harms. Therapy with her is shaped by what each person brings to the room, and she guides clients at a pace that suits their needs and preferences.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Antonella uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine structured, skills-focused work with empathetic exploration. One common strand focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, panic, and low self-esteem - practical tools and exercises help clients manage day-to-day challenges and build resilience. Another strand emphasizes gentle processing of painful experiences and emotions, offering a space to process grief, trauma, attachment injuries, and feelings of guilt or shame so that people can rebuild a sense of safety and self-worth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Antonella will work with each client to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the therapy fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Antonella is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make consistent care more accessible. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to continue around work and family life, and enable people to engage in different formats depending on what feels most comfortable and effective for their situation.
