About Antonello
Antonello Sirigu helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, career challenges and life changes. He introduces practical steps and steady conversation to make change feel manageable. Antonello is registered with the HCPC and practises in the United Kingdom.
He speaks English and draws on three years of professional experience in mental health settings. His background includes work in Italian mental health services and more recent roles in UK NHS services.
Background and approach
He has provided counselling and coaching for adults on issues such as depression, workplace bullying, immigration concerns, motivation and confidence. He also addresses specific areas like attachment struggles, isolation, grief at end of life and ageing-related worries. In sessions he combines different ways of working to match each person’s needs.
He uses cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. Antonello pays close attention to cultural and family influences and adapts his style accordingly.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging as ways to connect. Costs vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. People who choose him can expect focused, practical conversations alongside space to reflect and gain insight.

Online support
He also uses dialectical behaviour therapy for teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful when someone needs steadier ways to manage strong feelings and crises. Motivational interviewing is another tool he draws on to build motivation and clarity when someone feels stuck about making changes.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods to try, checking in and adapting as goals evolve. Some people prefer skill-based work, while others want to reflect on past patterns; both routes are valid and can be combined.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice and days when a shorter contact is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can offer all these options to increase flexibility and accessibility.
