My Approach

As a therapist I work holistically paying attention to both mind and body, helping you to become more aware of what you think, feel and do in the moment. Awareness is the foundation for change, and together we can experiment with new ways of being yourself, with kindness.
I believe that there is no “one size fits all” approach to therapy, so sessions are tailored for each person. I also believe in the importance of your full involved in every step of the therapy process, so I will ask for your views and opinions throughout the journey.
Over the years I had the opportunity to specialise in the support of neurodiverse individuals, and those exploring topics such as identity and sexuality, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship difficulties, psychosomatic symptoms such as medically unexplained pain.
If you are considering therapy but feel uncertain, book a introductory session to discuss your issues and questions, it is on me!

About Me

As a welcoming, curious individual, I offer a safe and supportive space to help my clients explore their thoughts and emotions and identify habitual ways of doing things that don’t seem to work any longer.
Born and raised in Italy, I have an international background having lived and studied across different countries. I have been working as a therapist and counsellor in London over the past 5 years - both privately and with charities, offering long-term and short-term services.
I gained an MSc in Psychology at the University of Milan – Bicocca and a second MSc-equivalent in Gestalt Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute in London, one of the leading psychotherapy training institutes in Europe.

I offer all prospective clients a free initial session, after that the session fee is self-set, meaning you choose how much you pay, starting at £80 per session for individual therapy.
I have a limited number of low-cost slots, get in contact if you would like to know more.

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.

Particularly Chronic pain or pain that has no medical explanations (e.g. fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, backpain, pelvic pain...). I have a special interest in supporting women who suffer from pelvic-pain conditions such as endometriosis, vulvodynia, vaginismus. Pain can be a signal from the body of emotional imbalance, inflammation, post-traumatic experiences, so the integration of talking therapies, somatic tracking, emotional awareness and expression can promote change in our relationship with pain
Having lived and studied across different countries allows me to understand and empathies with those living abroad and or experience a sense of non-belonging in their environment.
I welcome individuals from any cultural background, age, gender and sexual identifications.
