About me

Online Trauma and Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapist (Bupa, AXA and Other Major Insurers Registered)

I provide therapy in English and Italian, working online with adults across the UK and internationally. I specialise in trauma and EMDR therapy, and have experience supporting Autistic and ADHD clients within a neurodiversity-affirming framework. I am an Accredited Member of the BACP and a registered provider with major private health insurers including Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, Vitality and Cigna.

Many of the people I work with have spent years managing anxiety, trauma, burnout, or a sense of feeling different without fully understanding why. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore these experiences in depth, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop a clearer understanding of yourself and your needs.

My work is tailored to the individual. I regularly support clients with anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, masking, sensory overwhelm, self-esteem difficulties, relationship issues, identity, and the impact of living in environments that may not have accommodated their neurodivergence.

I offer secure online therapy, making specialist support accessible wherever you are.

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
