About Antonella
Antonella Mezzasalma is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports adults struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, motivation and confidence. She also lists life purpose among her areas of focus.
Antonella frames clients as experts in their own lives and points to the strengths they already carry. Sessions aim to identify practical steps a person can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and focused on what feels most relevant now.
Her clinical approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small behavioural changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Internal Family Systems ideas inform work on internal conflicts, such as shame, guilt or self-criticism. That can help when past events or difficult relationships keep pulling someone back into old responses.
Antonella works in both English and Italian. She notes multicultural concerns and themes around relationships, intimacy and communication among her focus areas. For those unsure what comes next, she offers practical conversations about choices, values and next steps.
How therapy approaches translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that line up with those values. In remote sessions this can mean setting simple, real-world experiments to try between meetings and reviewing what happened.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing alternative responses. Online work often uses structured discussion and brief exercises to track patterns and try new coping strategies between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the options and recommend steps based on a person’s concerns, preferences and goals, so the plan can change as progress is made.
The original biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions fit into busy lives because they remove travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for online meetings so the sessions focus on practical next steps rather than on logistics.
