Psychotherapist (Registered)

“Counselling, Psychosexual & Relationship Therapy, EMDR Trauma Therapy I am a compassionate and experienced therapist offering a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to explore the challenges affecting your life and relationships. My work focuses on understanding the underlying patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be contributing to your difficulties. Working collaboratively and at your pace, I support you in developing greater self-awareness, healing from past experiences and creating meaningful, lasting change.”

About me

I offer a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space where we can explore the deeper roots of your difficulties. As a psychotherapist, I work with individuals and couples to understand the patterns, experiences, and triggers that may be affecting your well-being and relationships. Where appropriate, I may use EMDR to help process difficult or traumatic experiences. My aim is to support you in gaining greater self-understanding, creating lasting change, and moving forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Approach

Together, we explore patterns, emotional and bodily responses, and how past experiences may shape the way you relate to yourself and others today. Sessions are available in London or online, in English or Italian, and are always paced to your needs. Depending on what feels most helpful, our work may involve reflective conversation, EMDR and bilateral work, or practical exercises between sessions. I work with individuals and couples, including older adults, supporting meaningful insight and practical change in areas such as trauma, relationships, sexuality, and emotional well-being.
