My practice is built on the understanding that healing is rarely linear and rarely purely intellectual. By integrating depth psychology, health psychology, and symbolic shamanic traditions, our work addresses the mind, body, and psyche as an interconnected whole.
Where traditional talk therapy reaches its limit, symbolic and shamanic frameworks offer alternative pathways for insight. For clients who are open to this dimension, we engage with archetypal imagery, ritual, and symbolic work.
Insight alone does not create lasting change—it must be lived. The final and ongoing stage of our work is integration. We focus on bridging the discoveries made in our sessions with your day-to-day life, translating symbolic and emotional realignments into authentic choices, healthier relationships, and a clearer sense of personal wholeness.
I offer in-person consultations in Lucca, Italy, as well as online sessions via Zoom for international clients or those based elsewhere. Having worked extensively online for many years—long before it became standard practice—I have found that remote sessions offer a uniquely focused, intimate, and accessible space for deep therapeutic work.
I am a fully trained and registered Jungian Analyst, Consultant Health Psychologist, and Hypnotherapist. Alongside my clinical analytical training, I have completed the rigorous three-year program in advanced shamanic practices with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Europe (FSSE). This allows me to bring a deeply integrative, holistic perspective to our work, bridging deep psychological analysis with symbolic and spiritual dimensions of healing.
Over my many years in practice across both the public and private sectors, I have worked with an incredibly diverse range of individuals. Notably, I served as the Clinical Coordinator in one of London’s largest adult male prisons for over six years, an experience that deepened my capacity to work safely and compassionately with highly complex, varied, and profound life challenges. Therapy is a collaborative journey, and it is vital that we both feel we are an equally good fit for one another.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
