Antonello Sirigu

Antonello Sirigu is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has three years of professional experience working in mental health services. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, career doubts and coping with life changes, and he lists life purpose among his areas of focus.

He trained and practised in Italy before moving to the United Kingdom and has recent experience in UK mental health services. His work covers a broad range of presenting issues including immigration-related concerns, workplace bullying, motivation and confidence, and problems linked to family of origin.

In sessions he uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. He draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and dialectical behaviour strategies to help people manage symptoms and develop practical skills. He also uses psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems to look at patterns that come from past relationships and internal parts.

Antonello emphasises cultural sensitivity and pays attention to how background and family shape current difficulties. He offers coaching-style support for career and performance questions alongside therapeutic work for anxiety and depression. Sessions are described as a collaborative process where goals and steps are agreed together.

He has worked in a variety of settings, including mental health services, charities and training agencies. People who are questioning what comes next in work or life may find his combination of practical techniques and attention to personal history helpful when deciding on next steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

Antonello uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes that ease symptoms. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression and stress when clear steps and experiments are useful.

He also uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication when emotions feel overwhelming. These skills can be practised between sessions and reviewed together.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, life circumstances and preferences and then decide with the client which methods to try. That means sessions can include skills practice, reflective work on relationship patterns, or coaching-style goal setting according to what feels most helpful.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or travel and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that remote sessions support steady progress while fitting into everyday routines.
