We all experience periods where we need some additional support to manage a difficult situation, work through a particular issue, or understand something from our past. Whilst friends and family can be a huge source of love and support, speaking to someone impartial can really help us to make sense of things in a new light.

I believe that whilst relationships can be a source of wounding, they are ultimately where we can also mend and heal. The process of healing looks and feels very different for each of us, but I feel that therapy, at the right time in our lives, can provide a sacred space that is conducive to such healing, propelling us into new ways of being.

I work slowly and mindfully, and encourage creative processes and use techniques such as mindfulness and breathwork. I have experience working with various issues, such as anxiety, depression, bereavement, loss, low self-worth, family conflict, self-harming, trauma, eating disorders and sexuality and relationship issues. I also speak Italian and can work with individuals who wish to use both English and Italian in the sessions.

I am a registered member of the UKCP and the BACP and follow their ethical framework. I also attend regular clinical supervision and CPD to support my work. If you are interested in meeting, we will organise an exploratory consultation where we establish if we can work together. We would then agree on a day and time for us to meet weekly for a 50-minute session.
