About me
My name is Erika. As a Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and registered member of the BACP and UKCP I can integrate a range of treatment models to meet your specific needs. I have years of experience in providing counselling in a variety of settings including the NHS, the volunteering sector and in private practice. I work with people presenting with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues.
My therapeutic approach is Transactional Analysis. This is a flexible modality to develop understanding of our internal experience and the way we relate socially. Transactional Analysis can address a person’s communications and interactions with the goal of developing healthier relationships with ourselves and our important others.
I offer support to individuals and couples working on their relationships with their partners, colleagues, and important others. We can explore patterns and modes of communication and behaviours. We work towards recognition of responsibility for our own choices, and ways to resolve the difficulties and issues that keep presenting themselves. This can often result in a feeling of stuckness.
I believe unaddressed experiences of hurt and misattunement can lead us to repeat the same defeating patterns in adult life which in turn can prevent us from living in a more gratifying way. Counselling and psychotherapy can help not only to work on difficulties but also to explore new possibilities towards personal achievement.
Patterns or repetitive behaviour, choices and situations can often become clearer. Links can be made, and meanings can emerge over the course of therapy. This may help to understand oneself better and learn new ways of relating to self and to others towards a more rewarding life experience.
I am passionate about my work and love to see clients improving their life. I work with people looking for changes or willing to explore new possibilities so they can live in a more fulfilling way.
I believe the decision to take action and seek therapy is a meaningful step towards growth and wellbeing. I offer a safe, trusting, and confidential space where together we can explore the difficulties you are experiencing and work on aspects that are important to you.
I offer both long-term and short-term therapy. I work both in English and in Italian, which is my native language.
Some of the areas I am experienced in working with include:
Anxiety
Depression
Trauma and abuse
Relationship problems
Co-dependency
Stress
Work related issues
Bereavement
Low self-esteem
Childhood issues
Feeling stuck in life

Member organisations
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.
