About me
I am UKCP registered Psychotherapist and Managing Partner at Kensington Therapy, a private practice specialised in Counselling, Psychotherapy, Life Coaching and well-being services. We are located in Kensington and Chelsea, a short walk from High Street Kensington and Earl's Court Tube Stations. I volunteer at Women and Health in Camden, through iCope and co-facilitate several Hearing Voices and Special Beliefs groups.
In addition, I am a Visiting Lecturer at Regent's University where I teach Existential/Phenomenological Approaches to Therapy within their Psychotherapy and Counselling MA Programme.
My approach to therapy is existential-phenomenological, but my training is integrative and I draw on psychodynamic and person-centred models of therapy as well as CBT whenever I feel they may be helpful to my clients.
I am bilingual and practice in English and Italian.
For more information, please email me here or phone/text +44(0)7760994969.
Training, qualifications & experience
I gained my MA in Psychotherapy at Regent’s University’s School of Psychotherapy & Counselling Psychology in London where I wrote a dissertation on the experience of regret as a catalyst for change. I have an Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy and existential philosophy tends to influence the way I look at the world.
Member organisations
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.
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.
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.
