About me
I am a fully accredited psychotherapist, counsellor, sex and relationship therapist, and trauma therapist, offering an integrated approach tailored to the individual needs and circumstances of each client.
I support individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of emotional, psychological, relationship, and sexual difficulties. My specialist areas include communication and relationship problems, sexual difficulties, affairs and betrayal, low self-confidence, loneliness, anxiety, trauma, and phobias.
I also work with clients experiencing difficulties connected with family relationships, life transitions, menopause, infertility, and the emotional impact of significant life events. Where appropriate, I draw on my training in different therapeutic approaches to provide a flexible and personalized form of therapy.
As a trauma therapist, I work in accordance with EMDR protocols, supporting clients who have experienced trauma and distressing or overwhelming experiences.
I have previously worked as a psychosexual and relationship therapist with Relate, the NHS, and Breast Cancer Haven, giving me extensive experience supporting people through complex personal, relationship, sexual, and emotional difficulties.
My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I aim to provide a safe space where clients can explore difficult experiences, understand patterns that may be affecting their well-being or relationships, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.
I offer therapy in both English and Italian.

Member organisations
school 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.
COSRT is the UK’s leading membership organisation for therapists specialising in sexual and relationship issues.
All members must abide by their Code of Ethics and the performance of accredited members is regularly monitored.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
