Antonello Sirigu

Antonello Sirigu greets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next step. He is based in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience in mental health practice. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes, and also offers support around career questions and coaching-style work.

His day-to-day practice draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside psychodynamic ideas to look at long-running patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps with change and goal-setting, while Internal Family Systems supports work with inner parts.

Sirigu trained and practised in Italy and has since extended his work in UK mental health services. His CV includes roles in public mental health settings, charities and university services, which shapes how he structures sessions and follow-up. He holds registration with the HCPC, which is listed as his professional credential.

Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and on exploring the personal history behind repeated patterns. He pays attention to cultural background and adapts language and pace to each person. He also offers support related to hospice and end-of-life counselling when people are coping with grief and major transitions.

People can expect a calm, respectful approach that aims to match methods to goals. He encourages a collaborative process where decisions about direction and techniques are made together.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural changes; it can help with anxiety, depression and practical problem-solving. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships through paced, skill-based practice. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships shape present patterns and can help make sense of recurring difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then suggest methods to try together. Decisions about techniques and pace are made collaboratively as therapy unfolds.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings can also make it simpler to maintain regular appointments while managing busy days or mobility limits.
