About Anila
Anila Babla is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and questions about life purpose. She also supports those coping with stress, addictions, intimacy issues and self-esteem concerns.
Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused methods. She uses talk-based work to look at patterns from early life and how they affect current responses. Sessions can include creative elements, reflecting her background in art therapy, to help people express difficult feelings when words are hard to find.
In sessions she helps people notice repeated reactions and the meanings behind them. That can mean tracing how attachment or abandonment experiences shape relationship choices. It can also mean looking at how chronic pain, illness or a brain injury affect mood, identity and daily routines.
She brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques into practical work on values and actions. This can help people struggling with career questions, commitment worries, or a sense of being stuck after life change. The focus is on small, doable steps that link values to what someone wants to do next.
People who prefer speaking in English or Italian can work with her. International clients are accepted. For first steps she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session via the online options button.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Anila uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps that reflect those values. ACT is useful for moving through stuck feelings and for decisions about work, relationships or health. Psychodynamic therapy helps uncover repeating patterns rooted in early relationships and shows how those patterns affect present choices. It can be helpful when someone notices familiar responses that no longer serve them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods with each person and make collaborative choices based on goals, preferences and what emerges in early sessions. That process means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need quieter surroundings rather than a long commute. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep continuity of care while working on values, trauma processing and relationship patterns.
