About me
I have worked in the NHS for 10 years, in Children and Young People Mental Health Service (CAMHS, up the age of 17) as a Cognitive and Behavioural Therapist and Clinical Psychologist, in the Early Intervention in psychosis team, as a Senior Clinical Psychologist (EIP, age 14-65) and At Risk Mental state service as Clinical Lead (ARMS, age 14-35). Currently I am working in BUPA as a clinical psychologist.
I have treated a large spectrum of mental health conditions, anxiety, depression, social anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, panic, psychosis, etc.
I worked for 3 years in a mental health unit for Eating disorders in Italy.
I use the CBT model and 3rd Wave (ACT, CFT, Mindfulness). I treat trauma with EMDR and TF-CBT.
I am also trained in Family intervention and I worked with families in distress.
In my practice, I am very transparent and I worship the values of openness and honesty. My main aim is to provide a safe and comfortable space for my clients to enable them to share concerns and their internal world. My approach is compassionate, friendly but professional.
