Anila Babla, BACP

Anila Babla is a counsellor who supports people coping with relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, stress and issues around intimacy. She also helps with addiction, low self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue. She lists traumatic brain injury among her additional focuses. Anila works in the United Kingdom and speaks English and Italian.

Anila blends psychodynamic ideas with trauma-focused methods and acceptance and commitment therapy. Sessions are practical and straightforward. She listens closely to personal history and to current difficulties. Creative tools from her art-therapy background are offered when they suit the person’s needs.

Her style is steady and exploratory. She helps people notice patterns learned in childhood that still affect their choices today. Together the client and Anila map out small, doable steps to respond differently when stress or old hurts arise.

Anila aims to make space for difficult feelings without rushing to fix them. She invites honesty, curiosity and the chance to try new ways of relating to self and others. Conversations may include practical coping ideas alongside deeper reflection about relationships and life purpose.

She has eight years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. People who choose to work with her first complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It focuses on building psychological flexibility rather than removing every difficult feeling. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that came from early relationships and how those patterns affect present choices and reactions; it helps people make sense of repeating difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic memories while building skills to manage strong emotions and physical reactions.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's history, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods might help most. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as needs change.

The practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and removing travel time so appointments are easier to attend. Online work can make follow-up check-ins simpler and allow for brief sessions on a tight day, or longer sessions when more time is needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats here, confirm which formats are available before booking so arrangements match everyday life and responsibilities.
