Mr Giovanni Pace
Chartered Psychologist
“I'm Giovanni, a Chartered Psychologist and UKCP Psychotherapist. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the main vessel of real change.”
About Me
I believe our connection in therapy is vital for your growth. I cultivate a trusting, open space where you can safely explore your true self and challenges. This collaborative approach allows us to make sense of difficulties together, fostering genuine understanding and new perspectives. If you value a deeply human relationship as the foundation for meaningful change, I aim to provide that supportive environment for you.
Approach
Trust and attunement shape how I work: sessions are paced to your rhythm, mixing focused reflection with quieter moments where images, memories or recurring dreams can be examined for meaning. Whether we meet in Brighton, in italiano or English, or online, I offer structured thinking between sessions when helpful so insights can be tested and anchors built into daily life. People who value steady, relational depth and practical sense-making often find this way of working helpful.
