About me and my therapy practice
I am an accredited counsellor psychotherapist offering both short and long-term therapy for a variety of issues including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders, relationship problems and family conflict, domestic violence, self-harm, compulsive behaviours, gender identity disorders, trauma and PTSD.
I work with adolescents, young adults (18-25-year-olds), and adults on a weekly basis. I have worked in private practice and in educational settings for over 10 years.
As a therapist, my goal is to help you learn more about yourself in order to live with more clarity and thereby to better your life.
I provide a confidential and non-judgmental space which can help your self-exploration. I speak English and Italian and I can work in both languages.
Practice description
My approach to psychotherapy is non-directive and aims at helping you discover more about yourself and explore unconscious aspects of your behaviour, thoughts and emotions. I believe that psychotherapy is a growing process that comes about through the unique therapeutic relationship between therapist and patient. My dual psychotherapy training in Person-centred and Psychodynamic therapy is reflected in my way of working: exploring the narratives that emerge in your life, and conveying an accurate understanding of your experience; seeking meaning of current conflicts through making connections between your past and present; enhancing your self-awareness. Developing a better understanding of yourself might help you manage your emotions beyond the therapeutic space and move towards change.
When working with adolescents, I regularly offer parent consultations. When a team approach is needed, I work in liaison with GPs, psychiatrists and other colleagues to best support you.
My first session
A first session with me carries no obligation to begin therapy but offers an opportunity to explore what psychotherapy can be like and how it could help. I find it works well to have at least two meetings at the outset, to allow time to conduct an assessment and pay careful attention to what would be most helpful for your and to plan accordingly.Please call me on 07523 550561 or email me and we can discuss how I can support you. There is no obligation to book an initial session. I offer a brief telephone consultation free of charge.
I work both in person and online when that is more convenient.
I have full indemnity insurance and I am DBS checked.
