Therapy can be a catalyst for change helping us to regain a sense of control in our lives and begin to live life more towards our true potential. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues that impact on clients' wellbeing, offering support, empathy and a safe space to share their concerns. I work with individuals, couples, families, children, young people on short and long-term contracts in Canterbury and Waltham. I use different approaches and techniques that are tailored to clients' needs, believing that we are all individual and that ‘one size does not fit all’. I have also lived and worked extensively overseas.

Do you need to unburden your troubles and untangle your muddles? I can hear your darkest stories and share with you my belief that we can all grow. I love to work with people to realise their goals, rediscover their choices and to find hope, self-acceptance and emotional peace of mind. You may be feeling anxious or stressed, have issues at work, including chronic stress, or disability and hidden disability. I also am interested in body positivity, issues around self-esteem, imposter syndrome, and political or environmental worries.

I offer Counselling and Psychotherapy sessions ( in person and remotely), as well as a limited number of concessions (please, contact me to discuss this further).
Do you feel overwhelmed in social situations, worrying how others perceive you? Are you having trouble sleeping or waking up in the middle of the night with your heart racing? Or perhaps on some days it is a real challenge to wake up and find the motivation to get out of bed, wondering ‘what’s the point?’ Sometimes, it might be difficult to share your thoughts and feelings with your family and friends. I aim to offer you a safe, confidential space to explore what is on your mind.

Benvenuti (Welcome!), my name is Umberto, and I believe that when someone experiences pain, confusion, anxiety, alienation, fear, self-doubt, or questions their identity, what they need most is understanding. Providing gentle, empathetic support can illuminate their path and facilitate healing. In such times, the ability to deeply understand and empathise represents the greatest gift we can give to another

You may be considering psychotherapy because you have a specific concern or are experiencing ‘symptoms’ that you want to address. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, or a general sense of unease and feel life is meaningless or joyless. Perhaps you are facing some significant change in your life and unsure what to do. Or maybe you are feeling stuck finding yourself in the same place, repeating the same patterns, despite your efforts to change things. Or perhaps you want to get to know yourself more deeply and experience life more fully.

I work well with clients who have already begun their journey of self-discovery and healing, who are curious about themselves and are open to trying new things. Perhaps you have already experienced psychotherapy and you did not get from it quite what you hoped. My clients often report difficulties in their relationships, self-limiting beliefs, anxiety, depression, bereavement or unacknowledged and unresolved childhood trauma. I am interested in spirituality, sexuality, parts work, generational trauma, dysfunctional family life, the nervous system, self-harm, developmental and event trauma, relational and somatic work.

Through my work as a psychotherapist and Children and families social worker since 1989 I have developed my knowledge and experience in supporting those who have experienced early life trauma, separation and loss. I have a particular interest in attachment theory and its clinical applications. Our childhood experiences may continue to impact our adult lives and ability to make and sustain healthy and emotionally secure relationships. Although psychoanalytically trained my clinical practice is predominately attachment based and trauma informed. I offer both brief and longer term therapeutic support to individuals, couples and groups.

Helping people rediscover the power to make choices is my main counselling focus. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic frameworks but the bedrock of my approach is increasing your awareness of your present experience instead of becoming lost in the past. This is the approach I will take in medium to long term and open ended counselling. I have specific training in short term therapy, which we can use on specific problems you may have identified for 6-12 sessions.
