Background and approach

Antonia works collaboratively so people feel involved in planning their next steps. Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify patterns that keep problems going.

Psychodynamic ideas may be introduced to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Antonia has experience addressing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, and parenting challenges. She also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues and common communication problems.

People who prefer straightforward talk, practical tools, and a steady collaborative process tend to fit well with her style. Antonia encourages curious, motivated clients to take small steps toward steadier moods and clearer relationships.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It involves listening carefully and helping people name what matters to them, which can be useful for anger, parenting stress, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers practical exercises and strategies to change reactions to stress, anxiety, and addictive urges.

Psychodynamic ideas look at how patterns from earlier relationships affect current feelings and interactions. This can help people understand recurring conflicts or why certain situations trigger strong responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and will tailor methods to match those needs. This is a collaborative effort that can shift as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about available session options and scheduling when you start so appointments fit with your daily routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
