About me

I am a qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Italian Psychologist. From the beginning of my career I have been both dedicated and passion-driven; over the years I have worked to combine reflective and analytic skills with a solid academic background. I believe in the importance to keep the focus on the other's needs with non-judgemental and empathetic listening, in order for him/her to feel safe to open up on difficult emotional contents.

My approach is psychodynamic. This kind of therapy is valuable both in the case of particular emotional difficulties or simply to deepen the individual’s understanding of him/herself. I can provide a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space that allows exploration of overwhelming and complex emotions. Over time, an empathetic, therapeutic relationship develops. The patient is led to think about internal and external worlds, considering both the past and the present, and therefore acknowledging how early experiences can affect current relationships and the overall responses to the external world. This process can help to better understand and overcome some dysfunctional patterns of behaviour, the aim of which to facilitate a more fulfilling life.

Patients attend a fifty-minute session once per week. The terms of the therapeutic contract, which include time, frequency and breaks, will be agreed together during the first consultation session. Typically this is long term work; however each individual need will be carefully assessed case by case. I can work both in English and Italian language.
