About Antonello
Antonello Sirigu is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has three years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, career problems, depression and coping with life changes, and offers coaching alongside therapy. Sessions are conducted in English and he is based in the United Kingdom.
He trained and practised in Italy before moving to the UK, and has worked in mental health services, charities, universities and day treatment centres. His work includes support for people facing immigration issues, workplace bullying, difficulties with motivation and confidence, and end-of-life concerns. He also addresses attachment and family of origin issues, isolation and life-purpose questions.
Antonello uses a mix of approaches in session. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for skills work and managing distress. He also integrates psychodynamic perspectives and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at relationship patterns and internal parts of the self.
In practice he aims to adapt his conversations and plans to the person in front of him. That might mean focused, practical techniques to reduce symptoms, or talking through longer-term patterns rooted in family and relationships. He has experience providing individual and family therapy in several settings.
People who contact him should expect straightforward, paced work that attends to cultural background and life context. He asks clients to use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.

How his approaches translate to online work
Antonello commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical tasks, which suits concerns like anxiety, low mood and workplace stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and improve day-to-day coping.He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore relationship patterns and how early family experiences shape current behaviour. That approach looks at recurring themes and helps people understand why they react the way they do, which can be useful for attachment, family of origin issues and long-standing interpersonal problems.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences and life context. Early sessions typically clarify priorities and try a few techniques to see what fits.
Specific session formats are not listed in his biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions so practical skills practice can continue between meetings.
