My Services
Compassionate, Integrative Counselling for All Ages At Barbara Farinelli Counselling, I provide professional, integrative therapy for adults, children, and young people. Whether you prefer face-to-face sessions in the UK or online counselling, I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. Together, we focus on understanding your experiences and finding practical ways to create meaningful, lasting change.
Individual Counselling
I offer one-to-one counselling for adults, supporting challenges such as anxiety, depression, low mood, grief, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, work-related pressures, trauma, and self-harm support.
My approach is integrative, drawing on Gestalt therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred approaches, and mindfulness techniques. Together, we reflect on patterns, explore your experiences, and develop strategies to move forward.

Children & Young People
I support children and adolescents to manage anxiety, stress, low mood, behavioural challenges, bullying, neurodivergence, ADHD, autism, and school or family-related difficulties.
Using creative and supportive approaches such as play therapy, sand tray work, modelling, art-based activities, and cards, I help children express themselves, develop emotional regulation, and build confidence in a safe, nurturing environment.
