About me
Perhaps you've found yourself wondering why you keep feeling or responding in ways that no longer make sense to you. You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or emotionally stuck. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling to trust your own judgement, carrying a harsh inner critic, or noticing that experiences from the past continue to shape your life today.
Many of us spend years believing there is something wrong with us, when our struggles actually make sense in light of what we have lived through. The ways we think, feel and relate to others often began as ways of adapting, protecting ourselves or making sense of difficult experiences. While these patterns may once have helped us, they can also leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and the lives we want to live.
I believe therapy is about more than reducing symptoms. It is an opportunity to understand yourself differently. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with me?", therapy invites a different question: "How did I come to relate to myself in this way?" As we begin to understand the origins of our patterns with curiosity rather than judgement, change often becomes more meaningful and lasting.
I offer a calm, thoughtful and collaborative space where you can slow down, speak openly and explore your experiences at your own pace. My role is not to tell you who you should become, but to help you make sense of your experiences so that you can develop a more compassionate and trusting relationship with yourself and others.
I can support you with:
- Anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm
- Relationship difficulties and family issues
- Low self-esteem, self-doubt and perfectionism
- Trauma, PTSD and complex trauma
- Depression and low mood
- OCD and intrusive thoughts
- Life transitions and questions of identity
- Religious trauma, spiritual abuse, and recovery from high-control groups or cults
How I work
I am an integrative psychodynamic counsellor, which means I draw on different therapeutic approaches while recognising that many present-day difficulties have their roots in earlier experiences and relationships. Together, we will explore not only what is happening in your life now, but also how your history may continue to shape your thoughts, emotions and relationships today.
Our work will be collaborative and guided by curiosity, compassion and respect for your individual pace. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can better understand yourself, reconnect with your own values, and begin making choices that feel more authentic and more truly your own.
Getting in touch
I offer a free 30-minute introductory phone or video consultation. This is an opportunity for us to talk about what has brought you to therapy, for you to ask any questions you may have, and to get a sense of how I work. There is no obligation to continue, and you don't need to have everything figured out before getting in touch.
Counselling in English and Italian
I offer therapy in both English and Italian.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Support with Religious Trauma, Cult Recovery & Faith Deconstruction
Leaving a controlling belief system, or simply beginning to question it, takes real courage. But the aftermath can feel just as disorienting as the environment itself. You may find yourself struggling to trust your own thoughts, unsure of who you are outside of that group, or mourning the community and sense of meaning you once had, even as you know leaving was the right thing to do.
If you've experienced a high-control, coercive, or cultic environment, whether religious, spiritual, or otherwise, the impact can continue long after you've left. Many people find themselves feeling anxious, confused, or emotionally numb, carrying deep feelings of guilt, shame, or grief alongside a profound loss of identity.
These experiences can ripple into every area of life: relationships, self-confidence, decision-making, and your sense of safety in the world. Whether you're recovering from a cult, navigating faith deconstruction, processing spiritual abuse, or trying to rebuild your life after leaving a high-control group, you deserve support that truly understands what you've been through.
I offer a safe, calm, and trauma-informed space where we can explore your experiences gently and at your own pace. There is no pressure, no agenda, and no judgement, only careful, compassionate support as you begin to rebuild trust in yourself, reconnect with your own identity, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and freedom.
