About Antonello
Antonello Sirigu is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has three years of practice across Italy and the United Kingdom. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, career uncertainty and major life changes, and lists life purpose among his areas of focus. Sessions can address practical problems like workplace bullying, immigration-related difficulties, and end-of-life concerns.
He draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive and psychodynamic ideas. In plain terms, he uses conversations about thoughts and behaviours alongside attention to past relationships and family patterns. He also uses techniques from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people manage strong emotions and consider change.
His background includes work in mental health services, charities and universities. That experience has involved individual therapy and family work in day treatment settings and clinical services. He reports using coaching and career-focused support for people dealing with professional transitions and performance pressures.
In sessions he pays attention to cultural and migration factors and how they shape current problems. He aims to adapt the tone and pace of conversations to each person. Practical goals often sit alongside exploring deeper patterns from family of origin and attachment histories.
People preparing to explore life purpose or make a career shift will find an approach that combines short-term skills with deeper reflection. To start, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to discuss priorities and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Antonello uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test different behaviours. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, low mood and work-related stress. He also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques support people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and how urgent the issue feels, then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions can mix short-term skill work and longer reflection, adjusting over time as priorities change.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online appointments help fit therapy into busy days, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins at lunchtime. Online work can make it easier to continue during relocation or when juggling family and job demands. Registered or accredited professionals typically discuss practical arrangements and frequency at the first meeting so sessions fit into everyday life.
