Availability update July 2026: I have a limited number of slots available on Wednesdays at my standard fee rate of £75. I offer an initial phone consultation for £20. Do you ever feel like life shouldn't be this hard? Perhaps you look like you're coping on the outside, but underneath you're exhausted, overwhelmed and wondering why everyone else seems to manage more easily. Many of my clients are intelligent, capable people who have spent years blaming themselves for struggling. I specialise in supporting ADHD and autistic adults, including those who are late-diagnosed or exploring.

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.

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, misunderstood by others, or exhausted from constantly holding things together internally. You may struggle with anxiety, relationship difficulties, rejection sensitivity, masking, burnout, or a sense that you don’t fully belong. Perhaps words feel difficult sometimes, or you find yourself deeply feeling things that others seem able to brush aside. Therapy offers a space where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply, feel genuinely seen, and gently unfurl into greater self-acceptance and freedom.

Whether you are struggling with emotions, relationships or physiological symptoms of anxiety or depression I can offer a safe space to explore these. You may be struggling to understand why things are so difficult, and may be very critical of yourself, thinking you should be coping better. You might have experienced a traumatic event, or always felt that you don't quite fit in, blaming yourself. You might be in a couple or a family unit struggling with arguments or disconnection from each other. You might just want to re-think your values and life goals to shift your future focus to something more rewarding.

Do you feel emotionally drained, lost, or disconnected from yourself? Or maybe everything is going right in your life, but you feel something is missing? I can help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and find a way forward. With experience working in addiction and recovery, I have developed a deeper understanding of how coping behaviours, emotional pain, and past experiences can shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others. Whether or not addiction is part of your story, these patterns can show up in many different ways, and together we can begin to make sense of them.

People seek therapy when they are dissatisfied or unhappy and feel that it is possible to make changes but this is very difficult alone. Psychotherapy is a particular type of conversation exploring thoughts, feelings and relationships. Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to think about what is troubling in a safe setting to understand and improve relationships, both with ourselves and others. My thinking and approach places relationships at the heart of experience. When patterns in relationships can be understood we can feel liberated to change.
