About Me
I came to train in counselling and psychotherapy after working for over a decade as a music therapist with people with complex neuro-developmental issues, disabilities, mental health conditions and degenerative diseases in special education, psychiatric hospitals and in the community. I believe most of our communication rests on non-verbal interaction, and this experience over the years helped me develop care and attention to such nuances in conversation.
From a foundation in Attachment and Object Relations theories, over time I became drawn to Existential as well as Non-Dualistic approaches to therapy. I feel I could integrate elements of these perspectives into the Adlerian lens I trained in, whilst CBT provided a wide set of tools to work concretely and experientially with anxiety and low mood. In the past 5 years I have been working as a counsellor and CBT practitioner as part of a long-established not-for-profit organisation in Cambridge.
Whether you think you would like to address relational challenges, sense of identity, self-esteem, discouragement, isolation, loss, anxiety, anger or neurodivergence, I would be glad to speak to you about how I may be able to support you, in either counselling or CBT. I am fluent in both English and in Italian.
Nella scelta di un percorso di psicoterapia, è importante sentirci a proprio agio sia nell’espressione linguistica, che nella comunicazione di riferimenti culturali personali. Se preferisci parlare in italiano, non esitare a contattarmi.
