Approach
I am a Clinical Psychologist with years of experience working in NHS mental health services. I work with adults, children and adolescents as well as families, and I specialise in helping clients with a range of issues, including Eating Disorders, Anxiety Disorders (OCD, Social Anxiety, Phobias, PTSD), low mood, and low self-esteem.
In our sessions, we collaborate to understand your challenges and create a tailored plan to manage them, reduce distress, and achieve your goals for a more fulfilling life. I work in an integrative way, practising Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as my main model, but do also draw on other therapeutic models, such as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Radically Open Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as appropriate.
I’ve successfully assisted clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds, emphasising a relational approach that values trust and rapport. I find it rewarding to see clients improve through therapy by understanding how their difficulties developed and learning skills to overcome them.
Motivation
I feel privileged to enter my clients’ lives, share their journey, and assist them in reaching their goals and overcoming problems. Witnessing clients experience positive change and regain hope and control inspires me. I understand the isolating nature of psychological distress and find great satisfaction in empowering clients to become their own agents of change, moving towards a more fulfilling life.
About Me
I am originally from Italy and can deliver therapy in Italian. I love to cook and spend time with my friends and family. I explore London on my motorbike and travel to new countries (possibly where it’s hot and with nice beaches)!
I had a course of CBT Counselling with The Harley Psychology & Therapy Group (Richmond) and although it didn’t provide me with the quick fix miracle solution I was hoping for, it has made my problems feel more manageable.
