About me
I’m a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT) and EMDR Therapist, and I offer therapy in both English and Italian. With experience working in both the NHS and private practice, I’m passionate about helping individuals who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, grief, and a range of other emotional and psychological challenges.
I believe therapy is a space where you should feel heard, supported, and empowered. That’s why I focus on creating a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where we can explore your unique experiences together and work towards lasting change.
How I Can Help
I understand that reaching out for help can be daunting, but taking that first step is the start of an important journey. Whether you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or the effects of trauma, my approach is designed to give you the tools and support you need to move forward with confidence.
I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based therapy that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. By identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns, we can reduce emotional distress and create healthier ways of coping.
I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful therapy particularly effective for trauma, PTSD, and phobias. EMDR uses guided eye movements to help your brain process distressing memories, allowing you to heal more quickly and effectively. Many clients find that combining CBT and EMDR creates lasting transformation in both their thinking and emotional wellbeing.
Who I Work With
I work with individuals who are facing a variety of challenges, including:
Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Social Phobia
Depression and Low Self-Esteem
Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Grief, Loss, and Life Transitions
Work-related stress and Burnout
Phobias (social, specific, etc.)
Whether you’re struggling with something specific or feeling overwhelmed by multiple issues, I’m here to help you break free from negative patterns and start living with greater peace of mind, clarity, and resilience.
What to Expect
I understand that the idea of starting therapy can feel intimidating, but I want to reassure you that it’s a collaborative process—one where your needs, goals, and pace are my top priority. In our first few sessions, we’ll work together to understand your concerns, set clear goals, and decide on the best therapy approach for you.
You can expect a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where we can begin to explore, heal, and grow. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Let’s Work Together
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to hear from you. Therapy is a journey, and together, we’ll make it a transformative one. Contact me today to schedule an initial consultation.
