Training, qualifications & experience
My trainings are strictly related to my personal experiences. Two decades of experience in assisting and management within both the military and civil aviation provided the platform which set off my interest in inner healing.
My cross-cultural experience of this previous work along with continuous training have provided and are providing me the integrative and inclusive attitude which characterises both my training attitude and professional awareness.
My attention to language and the extensive cross cultural knowledge added to humanistic studies set off my journey within the talking therapies .
I graduated in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology at Regent's University London. Additionally I fulfilled the requirements for and was awarded with "Alternative Sexualities Certificate" issued by Pink Therapy and "Train the Trainers- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy" - Group Protocol for Improving Employee Well Being and Performance issued by University of London and City and Hackney Mind.
Moreover I facilitate DBT (Dialectic Behavioural Therapy) to individuals and groups and graduated as a 7-PATH Self Hypnosis Teacher (Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnotherapy) in California and currently am practising in London, Rome, the UK and Internationally.
As Pink Therapy's Clinical Associate I offer my services to organisations, schools and universities facilitating Workshops of GSRD, ACT, DBT, Hypnosis to communities across the UK and Italy.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
