Get To Know Me

I am a native Italian speaker living and working in the UK since 2014. I have extensive experience working both in the NHS (in mental and physical health) and in the private sector. I know first hand what it means to deal with mental health difficulties as well as the challenges that can arise when living away from familiar surroundings and adapting to new cultures; therapy has helped me tremendously with these issues and has allowed me to flourish.

I have then trained in evidence-based approaches like CBT and EMDR to support my clients to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings, heal from painful life experiences and feel more content within themselves. I love learning, so I continuously embark on workshops and courses to improve my knowledge of therapeutic approaches. I also personally practise mindfulness and compassion-focused skills as much as I can and have undertaken both individual and group psychotherapy myself to work through past trauma and personal difficulties. I feel that both my personal and professional background allow me to connect with my clients on a deeper level, ensuring a safe space where you can share your concerns openly.

Life can be tricky and it's understandable and normal to struggle at times. I strongly believe that learning to understand your mind is one of the best things you can do to start recognising why you are struggling, which will ultimately improve your mental health and well-being. My approach will help you reflect on the way you think and feel in response to certain life events and recognise how your past experiences may be affecting you in the present. Ultimately, I aim to help you develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself and your difficulties with a view to feel more at peace and resilient in the face of future life events and hardship.
