In Person Counselling in Hillsborough
Sitting down face to face with a therapist can feel daunting.
Clients who have tried traditional room based talking therapy and felt stuck may benefit from equine facilitated psychotherapy that allows for somatic and emotional awareness beyond the spoken word. A range of experiences can be explored such as anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-esteem, identity and neurodivergence. Clients will experience the relationally safe and non judgmental nature of horses. Horses simply respond to the person that is in front of them. Their ability to communicate via energy and nonverbal cues makes them wonderful at mirroring inner emotional states. Building trust and connection are at the forefront of EFP.

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.

Life can throw many challenges and sometimes we can get a bit stuck and not sure what to do to change the situation.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I have been a practicing counsellor since 2008. With the experience that I have gained and a deepening knowledge of theory, I believe that I can make a difference to the lives of others. I became interested in the benefits of counselling as a result of my work with children and my own personal struggles. Intrigued and fascinated by the subject, I qualified as an Integrative counsellor in 2010. I have since gained many further qualifications in how to help people with a range of issues and challenges they can face. Change and development in life is always what I hope we can achieve together.
