About me and my practice
I am an integrative trained Counsellor and Psychotherapist, registered Member of BACP working with adults, children and adolescents. My approach is rooted in empathy, non-judgment, and collaboration, drawing from person-centred therapy, psychodynamics, Gestalt therapy, and CBT. I have a special interest in Mindfulness and Coaching, which I incorporate into my practice too.
Are you feeling anxious or angry and don't know why? Do your worries hinder your plans preventing you from achieving your goals? Are you feeling sad with a sense of no purpose in life? Do you feel stuck and overwhelmed in any area of your life? Are you holding back from relationships?
My therapy mission is two-sided. On one hand, helping individuals to feel more connected with themselves. I promote healing and personal growth, helping individuals to better understand themselves, their values, and their life purpose so that they can take control of their lives and make positive changes. This could be done by working through past trauma, managing anger, changing habits that are causing distress, building up resilience and healthier coping mechanisms for dealing with life's challenges, reflecting on goals and priorities, and fostering a greater sense of self-awareness and self-acceptance. On the other hand, supporting individuals to feel more connected with others, nature, and the world around them. I focus on improving the quality of life and relationships whether with a partner, family members, friends, or colleagues. This could involve learning better communication skills, cultivating resilience, resolving conflicts, and deepening emotional connections.
I offer therapy in English and Italian. My work is culturally and linguistically sensitive. I provide sessions either face-to-face or online.

Experience
I have varied working experience in corporate, non-profit, private, and educational settings which made me understand the challenges of each sector. Having had 3 career changes made me empathise with how difficult it is to find a fulfilling pathway and the frustration that goes along. I moved country and I can understand the challenges of loneliness and looking for connection. Before qualifying as a therapist, I worked for several years as a Dyslexia tutor and specialist mentor supporting students with disabilities (sensory loss, physical health, and mental health difficulties), ADHD, ASD, and Specific learning difficulties (dyslexia and dyspraxia) whilst they are at college/university. I can understand the impact that SpLds and ADHD might have on self-esteem and the repercussions of mental health difficulties on everyday life. I currently manage school-based counselling services in London alongside my private practice. My work with children made me connect more with the inner childhood unresolved dynamics of my adult clients.
My areas of expertise include abuse, domestic violence, neglect, narcissistic relationships, life transitions, Dyslexia, ASD, ADHD, trauma, parenting, stress, career change, family conflicts, relationship issues, anger management, lack of motivation and focus, low self-esteem and self-worth, and anxiety.
