Anila Babla , BACP

Anila Babla offers a calm, non-judgmental presence for people facing unexpected life changes and emotional challenges. She understands that many reactions are shaped by early experiences and habitual patterns, and she works in a psychodynamic way to explore how the past influences present feelings and behaviours.

As a trained art therapist, she values creative ways of expressing and processing difficult emotions alongside more traditional talk-based work. She believes strongly in empowering people to discover their own solutions and supports clients in finding a path that feels authentic to them.

Anila places high importance on difference, integrity, and connection, and she is willing to accompany clients through painful or uncomfortable places in order to help them develop more effective coping strategies. Her approach aims to transform distress into practical ways of living that allow people to engage with life more fully.

Psychodynamic, Trauma-Focused and ACT Informed Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Psychodynamic therapy explores how early relationships and unconscious patterns influence current behaviour and emotions. This approach can help with long-standing relationship issues, attachment concerns, and patterns that repeat across different areas of life.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to address the effects of traumatic experiences, helping people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact. It is intended for those coping with abuse, significant losses, or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anila works collaboratively with clients and with input from licensed professionals as needed to find the best fit based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor the work to what will be most helpful.

Online therapy brings these approaches into practical, flexible formats. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access therapy from home or while traveling, fit sessions around busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible. The range of options helps make therapy more accessible and adaptable to individual lifestyles.
