Welcome to my site and thank you for your interest in working with me!​

 

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist and clinical supervisor and a certified practitioner of Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples (EFCT), individuals (EFIT) and families (EFFT) through ICEEFT. I work with individuals, couples and adult pairings, including parents and adult children, siblings, business partners and close friends who are seeking support with relational difficulties. Sessions are offered worldwide via Zoom.

​

Relationships are at the heart of everything I do. Over the years, my work has increasingly focused on helping people relate to one another, and to themselves, in ways that feel more genuine and sustaining. Time and again, I have witnessed how difficulties such as anxiety, depression, stress and traumatic responses begin to ease, or even resolve, when people experience richer, more honest connections, not only with a partner, but with friends and family too.

​

Many of us absorbed the message growing up that independence is a virtue and that needing others is a weakness. But science continues to affirm what attachment theorist John Bowlby recognised long ago: we are wired for connection. Being able to lean on the people we love, truly depending on them in moments of vulnerability, is not a failing. It is fundamental to our wellbeing.

​

I have experience working with LGBTQ+ couples and warmly welcome clients from all cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. I have developed particular expertise in cross-cultural relationships over the years, in my clinical practice and through personal experience. My aim is always to offer a non-judgmental space where you feel safe to speak openly about whatever matters most to you. This includes supporting you if you are unsure whether to stay in a relationship; I do not measure success by whether people remain together, but by whether they reach greater clarity and a deeper understanding of their own experience and needs.

​

Throughout our work together, I will help you become more emotionally resilient and more attuned to your own needs and those of the people you care about. We will explore your values, passions, and priorities to help you find greater meaning in your life. And I will encourage you to become the author of your own story, making choices grounded in reflection rather than driven by reactivity.

If I am not the right fit for what you need, I will do my best to connect you with a suitable therapist within my EFT network, or point you toward the resources most relevant to you.

My Story​

Born and raised in Italy, I first came to London in 1995 as part of an Erasmus exchange programme during the final year of my undergraduate degree. After graduating from the University of Bologna, I returned to London and spent several years in management roles; first at advertising agency J. Walter Thompson, then at BBC Broadcast, the BBC's in-house agency.

​

Over time, a deepening curiosity about human behaviour and the big questions of existence began to reshape my sense of direction. In 2003, I took the step that would define the rest of my career and began postgraduate training in psychotherapy. Existential psychotherapy drew me in immediately, as it spoke directly to the questions I had been carrying about how to live a life of meaning. In 2008, I completed my MA in Existential Psychotherapy at NSPC London, awarded by the University of Sheffield.

​

My clinical experience spans both NHS and private settings. I have worked as a psychotherapist at St Thomas' Hospital, as an NHS Clinical Team Leader at The Awareness Centre, and as a Case Manager with BUPA Psychological Services' EAP programmes. In 2009, I founded TherapyTime Group Practice, a private clinic in central London.

​

As my practice evolved, I became increasingly drawn to working with couples. That search led me to Emotionally Focused Therapy, a model that deeply enriched my clinical practice. I was lucky enough to attend Dr Sue Johnson's first-ever EFT training in London in 2010, and in 2017 I became a Certified EFT Couple Therapist.

​

When the pandemic arrived in 2020, I closed my London office and transitioned fully to online practice. I now work from my home on the Kent coast with clients across the UK and around the world.

​

Therapy, at its heart, is about relationship and research consistently confirms that the connection between therapist and client is the single greatest factor in a successful outcome. I hold that truth at the centre of everything I do. A good therapist never stops learning, and my clients' psychological wellbeing remains my deepest professional commitment.

My Professional Development 

 

As part of my professional growth I have more recently got certified by ICEEFT in EFT for Individuals (EFIT) and EFT for Families (EFFT).  

 

My own later-in-life ADHD diagnosis has given me a deep personal investment in supporting individuals, couples and families navigating ADHD, and I am currently completing further training to become a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider

 

Personal experience with highly narcissistic individuals deepened my awareness of the concealed trauma narcissistic abuse leaves in its wake, and ultimately led me to complete a course of training led by Dr. Ramani Darvasula, a leading expert in the field, and qualify as a certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician.

​

I've become a UKCP registered Clinical Supervisor. My training was completed at CTSD London in 2021. I'm also training with ICEEFT to become an EFT Certified Supervisor. I really enjoy supporting colleagues as much as supporting my clients. It gives me real pleasure to help others grow and flourish, both personally and professionally.​​
