Counselling in New Malden

We all have psychological ups and downs caused by the rollercoaster of life, specific events or our past. Work, relationships, families, finances, the behaviour of others, our past and health can lead us to develop unhealthy emotions. These include anxiety (shown as general stress, fatigue, panic attacks and OCD), depression (feeling lethargic or unfocussed), anger (outbursts, intolerance), guilt (we did something wrong) or shame (I’m not good enough). I work closely with clients to move forward from these to heal, achieve personal goals, enjoy life to its fullest and experience joy.

There are many different reasons why people experience low mood, stress, anxiety, self-doubt and self-criticism. Starting therapy can be a courageous step towards overcoming these challenges, understanding and healing from past experiences. In therapy, I create a safe space to explore any difficulties, building a trusting relationship and a platform that enables you to develop useful coping skills and empowers you to live a more meaningful life. As a Clinical Psychologist, I work in line with these values across my private practice and NHS work, supporting adults, parents and children to navigate through the complexities of life.

Throughout life we can encounter emotional distress at various times. As a Counselling Psychologist, I can help if things are getting on top of you, if you’re feeling down, scared, worried or overwhelmed. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. When working with my clients I feel it is important to work together so we can come to a shared understanding of the difficulties you are facing. Working collaboratively, I aim to empower my clients with understanding and coping strategies to live a more functional and fulfilling life

I understand that seeking therapy can be both comforting and daunting, but it can also be liberating and I commend individuals who reach out for help. Our pain can often be a message that there is something amiss in our lives, and I believe it is important that we listen to that message. Whether you are dealing with a difficult time in your life and need help managing the emotions and thoughts, I aim to assist individuals to better understand the relationship between their feelings and thoughts and explore ways to change maladaptive patterns.

When we are struggling with our painful feelings, we could feel ourselves confused and unable to move in life. Working together, we will explore your present situation in a confidential, secure and comfortable setting. You will reflect on your own thoughts, feelings and experiences and we will identify underlying issues and emotional patterns which have a bearing on your current difficulties. We will activate resources from inside you and find new strategies to effectively deal with your life events. Languages: Italian and English. I offer both online and face to face sessions.

I work integratively, my training was in existential psychotherapy. This means I believe that life is naturally going to present struggles and that we need to navigate our way through life's givens: loneliness, anxiety and death are all givens of our life. I believe that the goal of therapy is to create space to reflect and align oneself with one's values and understand our limitations. I believe that trauma has a lasting impact on our bodies and minds, and that through understanding the mind-body connection, healing can ultimately take place. I currently hold a post working in GP practices with the NHS.
