About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist with a background in psychodynamic psychotherapy and specialist training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I work with couples and individuals who are struggling with emotional, relational and psychological difficulties. I offer therapy in both English and Italian, allowing clients to express themselves in the language that feels most natural and comfortable for them. I have a particular interest in helping couples navigate relationship conflict and emotional disconnection.
I believe that relationships can be one of our greatest sources of support and fulfilment, but they can also become places where we feel hurt, misunderstood or alone. My role is to help couples make sense of these experiences and find new ways of connecting with one another.
HOW I WORK
I offer a warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where couples can explore the difficulties they are facing and begin to understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we work at a pace that feels manageable, helping each partner feel heard and understood.
I encourage open and honest exploration while supporting both partners to develop greater emotional awareness and communication. My aim is to help couples strenghten their connection and create lasting change within their relationship.
My role is collaborative and balanced. I don't take sides, but work to support both partners in understanding themselves and each other more fully.
AREAS I WORK WITH
- Communication difficulties
- Conflict and repeated patterns
- Emotional disconnection
- Infidelity or breaches of trust
- Cross-cultural and international relationship challenges
- Life transitions (parenthood, relocation, separation decisions)
- Issues around intimacy and sexuality
MY APPROACH
My work is primarily informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach that helps couples understand and change the emotional patterns that create distance, conflict and disconnection.
EFT recognises that relationship difficulties often arise from unmet needs and recurring cycles of interaction rather than individual fault. By identifying these patterns, and exploring the emotions beneath them, couples can develop greater understanding, rebuild trust and strengthen their emotional bond.
Alongside EFT, my background in psychodynamic psychotherapy helps me consider how past experiences and relationship histories may influence current difficulties.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist and couples therapist, with extensive experience working with couples and individuals facing emotional, relational and psychological difficulties.
My core training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which helps clients understand how past experiences, attachment patterns and unconscious processes can influence present relationships and emotional wellbeing. Alongside my psychodynamic training, I have also completed training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is a research-based approach that helps couples identify negative interactional cycles, deepen emotional understanding, and strengthen secure emotional bonds.
I integrate psychodynamic and EFT perspectives in my work, supporting couples to understand both the deeper roots of their difficulties and the patterns that keep them stuck in the present.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and regularly attend training, supervision and workshops to ensure my practice remains informed by current thinking and evidence-based approaches. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with their Ethical Framework.
I hold a full advanced DBS check and I am registered with Cigna Healthcare.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
