About Anila

Anila Babla helps with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, stress, anxiety, addictions and self-esteem through a psychodynamic way and creative methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience.

Anila talks with people about how past patterns shape current reactions. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at early relationships and recurring behaviour. She also draws on art therapy approaches to open up conversations when words feel hard to find.

Sessions are conversational and reflective. She helps people notice repeated responses and consider new options. Practical coping strategies are used alongside deeper reflection when useful.

Anila works with a broad range of life issues, including career concerns, compassion fatigue, chronic pain and illness, attachment and abandonment worries, and communication problems. She also supports people facing traumatic brain injury and somatisation with approaches that address both emotion and behaviour.

Her training and membership of the BACP inform an ethical practice style and professional framework. She is comfortable working in English and Italian and accepts international clients.

People can expect a blend of trauma-focused work when needed and longer-term psychodynamic exploration. She aims to help clients develop ways of coping that fit their everyday life, using creative methods when they add value.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses practical exercises to build committed action towards chosen values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they repeat in the present. It involves talking about feelings, memories and reactions to uncover long-standing patterns that influence current relationships and self-esteem.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of past traumatic events. It uses structured techniques to process traumatic memories and to develop safer ways of coping with triggers and distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and together they will choose methods that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

If you want online sessions, check which formats the counsellor currently offers before booking. Confirming the available session types helps plan practicalities such as session length and whether camera use is needed. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when appropriate and reduce travel time, while still focusing on the same therapeutic aims as in-person work.
