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, autism, ADHD, physical disabilities, psychosis, depression and degenerative conditions 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 (I. Yalom, E. Becker, S. Kierkegaard) as well as spiritual (D.R. Hawkins, E. Tolle, R. Maharshi) themes in therapy. I feel I could integrate elements of these approaches into the Adlerian lens I trained in, whilst training in CBT and EMDR provided a broad set of tools to work concretely and experientially with anxiety, worry, OCD, low mood and trauma.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked for several years as a counsellor and CBT practitioner within a long-established young people’s Charity in Cambridge, and more recently within university staff counselling services.

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 both in 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.
