After having taught for 7 years at the Faculty of Psychology of an Italian private University, I moved to Northern Ireland where I founded Athena Mental Health which I now direct as the CEO. I am a Fellow of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (UK) where I served as Ethics Committee Member and currently offer Clinical Supervision. During the COVID19 pandemic I moved my business online accessing the global market where I still work treating adults, couples and families from any country in the world. I was trained to provide therapy in English to speakers of other languages.
I specialized in neurodivergence and personality disorders. My approach is both conservative towards the identity of a person and integrative in relation to the modalities I choose for the treatment. I believe that each one of us is unique and different, so therapy must be tailored on the specific needs of every new client seeking help.
I offer two innovative psychological treatments: virtual reality exposure therapy and cranial electrotherapy stimulation. My practice requires full registration; after your initial assessment, my assistant will guide and assist you throughout your journey. - By appointment ONLY: Monday to Friday 12pm TO 8pm (UK time).

The first session at my practice is usually an assessment that I run to collect as much data as possible on you, your environment and the way you interact with it. I will run a risk assessment as well, to make sure that your environment is secured and that you are safe, fit and ready for therapy. We will agree together on desirable outcomes, methods and timeframes.

I am mainly a dialectical therapist; I work within a compassion-based and solution-oriented framework. It means that while I understand your thoughts and empathise with your feelings, I also encourage you to step forward, introduce and implement positive changes into your life and routine. This will help you discover who you are, what you want and how to succeed.
