Languages: Italian, English
Works with: Individuals, couples, families
Specialisms: Autism Spectrum Condition, ADHD, Trauma, Anxiety and Depression, LGBT+, life transitions, self-exploration
Accredited: HCPC PYL 35504, EAGT (European Association of Gestalt Therapist), EPC (European Certificate of Psychotherapy)
I am a trained Gestalt Practitioner and an EMDR Therapist. I am a registered Clinical Psychologist in both Italy and the UK. I currently work as the Neurodevelopmental (ND) Clinical Lead at Cardiff & Vale University Health Board (UHB).
I obtained my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology in 1998 from Sapienza University of Rome, and later completed my specialisation in Gestalt Therapy in 2010 at the Gestalt Institute HCC Italy. I am also an accredited EAGT therapist. I have more than 20 years of experience offering psychological therapy, integrating Gestalt and EMDR approaches.
Earlier in my career, I provided cognitive and neurodevelopmental assessments within the National Adult Mental Health Service in Italy (DSM, ASL 8). Since 2017, I have worked in the Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS, SWLSTG) in London, before moving to Wales.
I offer individual, couple and family therapy. I use EMDR particularly in cases of trauma, specific anxieties, and phobias.
My professional background integrates experiential–humanistic, neuropsychological and diagnostic training.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in the here-and-now, using the therapeutic relationship as a space of co-creation, support and recognition of each person’s uniqueness. Through the safety and presence of the therapeutic encounter, it becomes possible to re-trace one’s personal, family and cultural history — understanding how the past shapes the present and influences one’s future. In this way, symptoms and emotional distress become more understandable and workable.
The main aim of therapy is to support awareness and the discovery of a more fulfilling and meaningful life. What “better” means is deeply personal and is constructed through a process of integration, reconnection with one’s own sensations and emotions, and the restoration of dignity to the most spontaneous and authentic aspects of oneself

Sono una terapeuta della Gestalt e una terapeuta EMDR, psicologa clinica regolarmente iscritta sia in Italia che nel Regno Unito. Attualmente lavoro come ND Clinical Lead (Responsabile Clinico Neurodevelopmental) presso il Cardiff & Vale University Health Board (UHB) in Galles.
Ho conseguito la laurea magistrale in Psicologia Clinica nel 1998 presso l’Università La Sapienza di Roma e, successivamente, la specializzazione in Psicoterapia della Gestalt nel 2010 presso l’Istituto di Gestalt HCC Italy. Sono inoltre terapeuta accreditata EAGT. Ho più di vent’anni di esperienza nell’ambito della psicoterapia, integrando l’approccio Gestaltico con l’EMDR.
All’inizio della mia carriera ho svolto valutazioni cognitive e neuropsicologiche nei servizi pubblici di salute mentale per adulti in Italia (DSM, ASL 8). Dal 2017 ho lavorato nel servizio di salute mentale per bambini e adolescenti (CAMHS, SWLSTG) a Londra, prima di trasferirmi in Galles.
Offro terapia individuale, di coppia e familiare. Utilizzo l’EMDR soprattutto nei casi di trauma, ansie specifiche e fobie.
La mia formazione integra aspetti esperienziali-umanistici, neuropsicologici e diagnostici.
Il mio approccio terapeutico si fonda sul qui-ed-ora, dove la relazione duale diventa uno strumento fondamentale di cura, sostegno e riconoscimento della propria unicità. Attraverso l’esperienza della relazione terapeutica è possibile ripercorrere la propria storia personale, familiare e culturale, comprendendo il legame tra passato e presente e il modo in cui questo dà forma al futuro. In questo percorso, il sintomo o il disagio acquistano senso e diventano più affrontabili.
L’obiettivo principale della terapia è sostenere l’awareness e accompagnare verso una vita più piena e autentica. Il significato di “migliore” è profondamente personale e si costruisce attraverso un processo di integrazione di sé, di riconnessione con il proprio sentire e di restituzione di dignità agli aspetti più spontanei e genuini dell’individuo.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am trained in Clinical Psychology, Gestalt Therapy, EMDR, and in specialist neurodevelopmental diagnostic tools including ADOS-2, ADI-r and 3Di. Over the years I have developed extensive experience working with people who have lived through trauma, members of the LGBT+ community, and individuals with social-communication differences, including Autism and ADHD.
My clinical background spans more than two decades across Italy and the UK, within both adult mental health services and child and adolescent services. This diverse experience allows me to integrate relational, experiential and neuropsychological perspectives when supporting clients.
I work with adults, couples and families, offering a safe therapeutic space where each person can explore their experience with curiosity and compassion.
I speak Italian and English, and I welcome clients who feel more at ease expressing themselves in either language
Sono laureata in Psicologia Clinica e di Comunità, specializzata in Psicoterapia della Gestalt, EMDR e formata nell’utilizzo di strumenti diagnostici per il neuro-sviluppo come ADOS-2, ADI-r e 3Di. Ho maturato una profonda esperienza nel lavoro con persone che hanno vissuto eventi traumatici, con persone LGBT+, e con individui che presentano difficoltà nella comunicazione sociale, inclusi Autismo e ADHD.
La mia esperienza clinica, che si estende per oltre vent’anni tra Italia e Regno Unito, comprende servizi di salute mentale per adulti e per bambini e adolescenti. Questo percorso diversificato mi permette di integrare prospettive relazionali, esperienziali e neuropsicologiche nella mia pratica terapeutica.
Lavoro con individui, coppie e famiglie, offrendo uno spazio sicuro in cui esplorare con curiosità e gentilezza ciò che emerge nel momento presente.
Parlo italiano e inglese e accolgo volentieri chi desidera esprimersi nella lingua in cui si sente più autentico.
