My Approach

I do not practice CBT and I have a specific interest in an Integrative approach (Humanistic and Psychospiritual models) based always on the therapeutic relationship, how and what we do together in the sessions.

I support anti-oppressive ideas and practice and I am very aware that therapy can be a space where shame and power dynamics can be triggered. I intend to create a very safe space where what needs to happen will happen. I believe that given the right conditions and support, we all sense and know what we need and are looking for. I trust that all we are and what we do is the best we can do given the conditions of our life. I am against a shaming model that implies that “we can always do better”. By being truly what we are, life might show us new options and ways of relating to each other.



I work creatively (also there is the possibility to use art materials for those who might want that, but it’s not a requirement) and do not expect me to ask you to lie on a couch or for me to be simply an interpreter of what you say. I believe that what you say is what you mean and I do not need to find any hidden meaning. I am against a therapy of suspicion and believe in a therapy of trust.



I am open to challenging exchanges between us, when the time is right. I believe that within a relationship based on trust we can dare more.



In our first session you will have a sense of who I am and how we might work. I will have the option to see if what you bring is something I feel ready to work with. My work is supervised so I feel I am well supported in deciding if something is beyond my professional limits. This is in your best interest.

About Me

My name is Luca. I am Italian and I trained in the UK (England and Wales) for several years. I also am a clinical psychologist in Italy and I training to become a Jungian analyst in Sicily. I have a strong interest in arts (dance and art therapy) and I have lived in the UK, Italy and Hungary. I have lots of international experience with expats as well. I mostly live in the UK but I can only see people on line at the moment. I am also very interested in masculinity, couples therapy, bereavement and ageing. I love Greece and the places were my soul can wake up again.

Special Interests

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.

I don't believe in asking clients to stop doing something that they consider addictive until they will be fully ready to. We cannot remove what makes us survive until we have created a new image of our life. When we ask somebody to stop doing something they might ask "why"? It is a very good answer. Until we have cultivated in us a very strong purpose and direction there is no point in stopping. We need a renewed sense of purpose to change our life. I will help you in this process.
Anxiety is when we cannot find a place where we fully belong: our body fails us, our relationships are not there anymore and we seem to face a new task and we are not equipped for that. What we need is to be grounded again, rooted in ourselves and in a solid relationships. We need to make space again.
I have worked with loss and bereavement for a long time, as a human being and as a therapist. I think that the real loss s not the event in itself -a bereavement for example- but the aftermath. What happens after, the collapse of our trust in life in general. The whole point is, what are the leftovers? What can we build with that? Some of us can just expeirence guilt and loss, instead of love and desire to build something new with what is left.
I am qualified as a couple therapist as well. Given my other interest in masculinity, I find couple therapy a beautiful challenge and a prcious gift. Witnessing two people in the process of facing a loss -what they were- while considering what is worth saving. Most couple come to therapy thinking they need to learn how to love each other again and to be like they used to. Love, at a certain point in the life of a couple- does not come. It must be wanted. We must want to love someone. I also deal with issues related to polyamour and if I have my own personal view, I like to support couples in finding they own way of functioning. In the assessment session we will find out if I am a suitable therapist for you as well and if I can support you further.
There is a moment in life when we need to face the question of spirit, the connection to the our essence and our Self. In the second part of life, when matter and our bodies start to fail us, we can either follow the descent into meaninglessness or awaken the light of spirit in us. It si our responsibility to do this. It is an archetypal task in our journey.
