Experience counts when it comes to navigating the complexities of the mind and heart. With over three decades of practice in mental health and well-being, I offer a steady, non-judgmental space for you to explore your challenges, find clarity, and reclaim your sense of self. I believe in taking a down-to-earth practical and realistic approach to counselling to help you make changes. Our sessions may focus on the questions of how and why you find yourself where you are, but they will also explore practical, behavioural and emotional steps you can take to live a more fulfilling life.

You might feel anxious, trapped or disheartened; unsure how to move forward.

DMP can reduce anxiety and stress and increase aliveness.
Do you sometimes feel limited by words? Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) offers an alternative to talking therapies. As our bodies hold the unconscious aspects of ourselves, movement-based therapy can be particularly effective in addressing feelings held somatically in the body. Dance Movement Psychotherapists believe that changes in the body & movement patterns are reflected in the mind & thinking patterns and vice versa. DMP can help you feel more attuned to your body, support emotional regulation, reduce stress, improve confidence, and help to form a stronger sense of Self.

I work alongside people who are dealing with all kinds of issues, including, but not limited to, anxiety, relationship issues, neurodivergence-related matters, depression, family issues, life choices, affairs and betrayals, separation, abuse, anger management, grief, low self-esteem or self-confidence, sex and sexuality, LGBT-related issues and stress.
I am a fully trained psychotherapist (MBACP Reg. & MNCPS Acc.) and clinical supervisor with more than two decades experience. When life feels a little out of balance, it's important that we find our own answers to the things that concern us about our lives. It's also important that we do this in a way that suits our preferences, our needs and our styles. Whether weathering a storm in life, getting to heart of some old patterns that no longer serve us, exploring meaning in our lives or coming to terms with loss, psychotherapy can help us to develop greater self-esteem, resilience and self-compassion.

I understand how hard getting support can feel; not knowing how talking might help or if you’re ready to let someone share your inner world. Finding the right fit for you shouldn’t also be part of the struggle. Most people come to therapy to stop hiding. But for Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities, the therapy can sometimes feel like another place where you must mask, explain yourself, or justify your sensory needs. Whether you’re processing or exploring ADHD/Autism/AuDHD, exploring your gender or sexuality, or just ‘managing’ living in an inhospitable world, I provide a space where you don't have to translate yourself.

Does your relationship feel stuck? Are you arguing about the same things, or has the silence between you become harder to bridge? Maybe you're working through an affair, navigating infertility or childlessness, or finding that life changes have pulled you apart rather than brought you closer. In our work together, we'll look at what's happening between you—the patterns that keep showing up, how you communicate (or don't), and what might be underneath the conflict or distance. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. I draw on systemic, psychodynamic, and humanistic perspectives to help you understand each other.

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and work both in English and in Italian. Psychoanalysis works on the premise that there is more to be known about us than we think, and that this discovery of our own self may enable us to lead a more fulfilling life. I try and understand your unique experience of the world and of others. Symptoms are an important part of this experience, but not the whole truth about it. My aim is to clarify the choices that are available in the face of our struggles, and hopefully a way through them.

I support adults and young people (14yrs and over) who feel held back by ongoing worries, challenges, or patterns they'd like to understand better.
I welcome the messy, confusing and contradictory parts of being human and believe that when someone feels genuinely heard, they begin to hear themselves more clearly too. What matters most to me is creating a relationship where you can exhale - where you don’t have to keep everything together, or hold your thoughts alone.
