Italian Counselling in Manchester
Nel corso della vita può capitare di avvertire un senso di sopraffazione senza riuscire a capirne il motivo. E questo può farci sentire disconnessi con gli altri e con noi stessi. Spesso il problema non è chiaro ai nostri occhi e parlarne con qualcuno, all’interno di uno spazio sicuro, può aiutare a capire ciò che sta accadendo. Affrontare certe problematiche all’interno di una relazione terapeutica dà la possibilità di progredire in quello che è il proprio percorso di crescita personale e scoperta di sé stessi. Ciò che metto a disposizione è uno spazio sicuro ed intimo in cui sentirti ascoltato e validato.

La perdita ci cambia. Può sconvolgere completamente il nostro mondo, sia che arrivi attraverso la morte di una persona cara, la perdita di un animale amato, la fine di una relazione, la perdita di identità o un grande cambiamento nella vita. Ognuna di queste perdite porta con sé un proprio peso, e nessuna esperienza è mai uguale a un’altra. Queste esperienze spesso portano con se emozioni valide come ansia, tristezza, rabbia, stanchezza, sopraffazione, sentirsi smarriti o una sensazione di disconnessione da sé stessi.

I work with people who struggle with people-pleasing, self-doubt, and relationship anxiety. You might worry about disappointing others, replay conversations in your mind, or feel guilty for putting your own needs first. Over time, people-pleasing can leave you feeling exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from what you truly want.
Therapy offers a space to understand where these patterns began and how they shape your relationships today. Together we can explore your needs, build confidence in expressing them, and practise setting healthier boundaries so you can feel more grounded, secure, and comfortable being yourself.

Hello. There might be several reasons why you are looking to start therapy:
Maybe you feel stuck and don’t know how to overcome a difficult situation.
Or why the same things seem to be happening to you.
You might be wondering 'what is wrong with me?'.
Maybe you feel very sad and like you’re carrying heavy baggage.
Stress might be a bit too much and you wish you could stop the race inside you.
Maybe you just want to feel better.
Maybe you are not sure, but you feel that all is not ok.
And maybe all the above at the same time.

Because the foundations of security begin in relationship and specifically, the first relationship we experience with our primary caregivers. I believe in the importance of relationship within the therapeutic setting. You will have the opportunity to examine how you relate to yourself internally and with others interpersonally. We will look at present-day relationships as well as childhood influences, and how these impact on the formation of self. Safety, care and compassion are my guiding principals when working therapeutically.

What happened to us, doesn't have to define us. The narrative of our issues can be transformed in something different. A healing story that can give you empowerment and freedom. We can feel angry, anxious, frozen, stuck but we may not always know why. You may look for happiness or you feel you are lost. Or perhaps, you still don't know what's missing. Regardless, I understand it's important for you to know how to cope and what really matters to you. Finding and challenging your personal story, may give you the answers you are looking for. I can help with that!

Whether navigating personal identity, communication breakdowns, or emotional overwhelm, I help my clients find clarity, strength, and lasting change—not just quick fixes, but deeper understanding and confidence.

My interest in psychotherapy, spirituality and meditation began after the end of my marriage several years ago, which like many other types of losses, triggered a lot of suffering. Life transition, family and friends losses, the breakup of long-term relationships, stress, anxiety and depression are all part of human suffering. However, we have an innate capability, which we can strengthen, that allows us to navigate and, more importantly, learn from our most difficult life experiences.

There are several goals that you may want to achieve through therapy. For sex therapy, these include support with compulsive sexual behaviours, porn addiction, sexual desire differences, but also support focused on issues like pain during sex, problems with erections or ejaculation. Relationship therapy can really help restore intimacy between partners, and improve communication, which can in turn help with resolving conflict, overcoming challenging times that may arise from life altering events (e.g. significant changes in your household, separations, embarking on the journey to parenthood).

Ti sembra che la tua mente non riesca a spegnersi - soprattutto di notte?
Forse sei esausta/o dal preoccuparti di continuo, dal sentirti in allerta per “il prossimo problema”, o dal ripensare alle conversazioni. All’esterno puoi apparire stabile, ma dentro ti senti teso/a, sopraffatto/a, e come se stessi sempre monitorando la vita.
Sono uno psicoterapeuta e docente specializzato in ansia, preoccupazione cronica e trauma. Lavoro spesso con persone la cui vita rende ancora più difficile “staccare”: chi fa turni, chi è sveglio/a fino a tardi, gamer, genitori che trovano silenzio solo la notte e professionisti impegnati.
