Giulio Idone

Wednesday morning or during week days after 5PM 

I am an integrative counsellor and art psychotherapist with 500+ clinical hours. I provide a safe, non judgmental and compassionate space where we can look together into feelings and thoughts that you find difficult to express, behaviours that you find hard to change and patterns in your life that you may want to become more aware about. In my integrative approach, I provide art tools and sand tray therapy because at times emotions can only emerge with the use of art and creativity. Becoming aware of one's own emotions such as sadness, anger, worry, fear improves insight and integration with positive benefits on the general mental health. I have worked with neuro-diversity clients for more than one year now. My main experience is with children and young people but I also worked with adults outpatients in an NHS setting. 

I provide in person individual sessions with an integrative approach: I work psychodynamically and person centred. When words cannot help, I invite my clients to make use of art and creativity as a way to access their inner world of emotions and thoughts.

The first meeting is usually spent setting up rules and boundaries which will be useful for the therapy to proceed in a safe and trustworthy way. I also assess the capacity of the client to engage with their inner world and the modality they find more congenial to do so: talking therapy, sand tray therapy, art therapy.
