After having taught for seven years at the Faculty of Psychology of an Italian private university, I moved to Northern Ireland where I founded Aletes 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 an Ethics Committee Member and currently offer Clinical Supervision. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I transitioned 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 specialize 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 to 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, 1 PM to 7 PM (UK time).
