Anila Babla

Anila Babla is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, stress, addictions, low self-esteem and questions about life purpose. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, codependency, attachment and communication problems and major life changes.

Anila uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how early patterns shape current reactions. She pays attention to recurring relationship patterns and how past experience can influence present choices. Her way of working includes talking through difficult material and noticing how familiar responses keep appearing.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) appears in her approach and is used to help people notice what matters to them and take practical steps aligned with those values. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her practice when trauma and abuse have affected daily life and relationships. These approaches are offered alongside psychodynamic reflection rather than as a single method.

Sessions include straightforward conversation and space for creative expression, reflecting her background as an art therapist. That can mean using non-verbal tools to make feelings easier to describe for some people. The emphasis is on finding ways to cope that fit day-to-day life rather than on labels or diagnoses.

She offers therapy in English and Italian and accepts international clients. If someone wants to start, they are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Anila draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, psychodynamic ways of working and Trauma-Focused Therapy to structure sessions. ACT helps people clarify what matters and take small, practical steps that align with those values. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns from earlier life that influence present behaviour and relationships. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing the impact of traumatic or abusive events and reducing their hold on daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what fits best given their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs become clearer.

Please confirm the session formats offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or health commitments and can allow shorter check-ins when required. It can also reduce travel time and make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across locations. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly adapt tools from these approaches to suit online sessions and practical life demands.
