About me
I am a Clinical Psychologist (HCPC Registered), a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist and Psychodynamic Organisational Therapist (BPC Registered), and a Group Analyst (Full member of GASi) working in private practice in London.
I offer individual and couple psychotherapy, as well as clinical supervision — in person and online in both English and Italian.
With over 20 years of experience across public and private sectors in Italy and the UK — including work at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust — my approach is grounded in psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, and group analytic models.
I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology recognised by the HCPC; I have a personal training in Psychoanalysis and a Post Doc specialisation in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Group Psychotherapy. I have also trained in systemic family observation and therapy at the CEF in Lausanne (Switzerland), completed the basic training on Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT) at the Anna Freud Centre in London, and trained in mindfulness meditation applied to group dynamics.
In addition to my clinical work, I have an extensive background in research and teaching. I have published articles and book chapters, and presented papers and workshops at international conferences. This ongoing engagement with the scientific and academic field informs and deepens my clinical practice.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have been working as a mental health professional for more than 20 years, both in public healthcare settings and in private practice.
After completing my M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Padua (Italy), I joined the University’s research team as a research fellow and lecturer. My academic work focused on family group dynamics, early relationships, models of clinical intervention, treatment outcomes in developmental psychopathology, and psychosis.
Alongside my academic work, I was part of the clinical team at the Department of Developmental Psychology and Socialisation, where I applied my understanding of early development and family dynamics in assessments and treatments with children, adolescents, and families.
For nine years, I worked as a consultant clinical psychologist and psychotherapist at a Children Therapy Centre. During the same period, I also worked in adult psychiatric services within the Italian National Health Service (NHS), providing both individual and group analytic psychotherapy to inpatients and outpatients.
After relocating to the UK, I continued my work in the British NHS as a clinical psychologist and group analytic psychotherapist in both primary and secondary care settings.
I have been trainer and supervisor at the COIRAG Institute of Psychotherapy of Padua (Italy) for ten years.
This diverse professional background informs my current clinical work in private practice, where I offer individual and couple psychotherapy, as well as clinical supervision.

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.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.

Upon commencing therapy you are committing to attending regularly and the same session time(s) will be reserved for you each week.
It is important to protect the rithm of the sessions to allow the therapeutic process to develop.
If you are occasionally unable to attend a therapy session I will do my best to offer you an alternative appointment where possible. If you are unable to attend in person, we can have the session(s) remotely either online or on the telephone.
All sessions are charged for, even if cancelled in advance.
