About Antonello
Antonello Sirigu is a registered professional with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the UK and has three years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, career questions, depression, coping with life changes and coaching. He has practical experience in mental health services and has worked with people from different cultural backgrounds.
He draws on a mix of psychodynamic ideas and evidence-based therapies in sessions. That includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), alongside Motivational Interviewing and Internal Family Systems. Antonello aims to help people understand patterns that affect mood, relationships and motivation.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical strategies as well as exploring deeper patterns from early relationships when helpful. He has experience in NHS mental health services, charities, universities and day treatment centres. That range informs how he helps with workplace stress, career development and immigration-related concerns.
He puts attention on cultural and migration issues, and on difficulties like isolation, guilt, attachment worries and family of origin problems. He also works with people facing end-of-life and ageing issues and with adults on the autism spectrum.
Antonello uses conversational work, reflective listening, practical skill-building and motivational techniques. If someone decides to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking route.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Antonello uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in ways that fit remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviours to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improving communication in stressful situations.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then choose or combine methods collaboratively. That discussion can include whether more skills-based sessions or deeper psychodynamic exploration is the main focus.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into study, work or shift patterns because they cut travel time and can be scheduled during a lunch break or between commitments. Others prefer shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits their day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote use so practical skill-building continues between meetings.
