I work with individuals, couples and families that need to face a trauma, a loss, problems of anxiety, depression, fears or relational problems (such as couple conflict, emotional or behavioral problem in a child, alimentary disorder, relational closure in an adolescent). Working together will help everyone finding new energy to change and when everyone is involved in a transformation, it will be stronger and lasting. As an Italian psychotherapist I work in Italian and in English with the foreign community in UK. Sharing the experience of migration always helps to face a new life in a different country.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your feelings? Do they impact on your confidence and day-to-day life? Or perhaps you have experienced painful losses, abuse or traumatic events that are affecting you? Do you have patterns of behaviour that no longer feel beneficial to you? Sometimes we think and act in certain ways that function to protect and preserve us. These have felt necessary in the past, but are no longer useful and can instead impact negatively on our life.

Do you ever feel like life shouldn't be this hard?

I specialise in supporting ADHD and autistic adults, including those who are late-diagnosed or exploring.

I am an integrative counsellor (person-centred, CBT, psycho-dynamic) and registered member of the BACP.

With a supportive encouraging and non-judgemental attitude counselling can provide a safe confidential space for you to express yourself freely and reflect on problems and their underlying causes.

I offer therapy for professional men navigating work, relationships, and identity. Perhaps you feel you've lost your way, or success is somehow leaving you empty. It might look like numbness, deflation, distraction: or like anxiety and panic. Or perhaps now feels like the right moment to take a look under the hood, like you've been meaning to for a while.

As far as anyone can see, you’re holding it all together, but deep down, you’re struggling to manage the emotional aftermath of losing someone or something important in your life—a relationship, a job, or a loved one. You feel worried about the future and a deep sadness that life seems to carry on as if nothing has changed. The loneliness, exhaustion, and pain of dealing with these feelings alone are overwhelming. You wish to open up about how you’re truly feeling without fear of burdening others or causing concern for those close to you. You need a safe space to process, heal, and find the strength to adjust to your new reality.

My clients appreciate my holistic approach to mental health. Their goal is usually to find their authentic selves, to become more self aware and to thrive and find joy and purpose, not just survive and settle for a life that is not working for them. We all want to be seen, heard and understood and that is often at the very heart of Healing.

Parenting Counsellors
What does therapy for parenting look like?
Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.
When should a parent seek therapy?
When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.
How long does therapy take for parenting problems?
Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?
Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
