I offer an integrative approach that combines talking therapy with creative, somatic, and experiential techniques, so we're not just thinking about what's going on, but exploring how it lives in your body, emotions, and nervous system too. This isn't about 'fixing' yourself, it's about building awareness, self-compassion, and a genuine sense of choice. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, noticing that talking things through alone hasn't been enough. Perhaps your body holds tension, pain, or fatigue that words don't reach. You may identify as neurodivergent, live with chronic pain, or simply feel things more intensely
I offer in-person and walking therapy in Brighton & Hove, and online across the UK, in English or Italian. Drawing from Gestalt and Integrative therapy, sessions are tailored to your unique needs, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
Healing happens in relationship, and the first step is connection. I believe that my role as a therapist is to meet you where you are and explore what’s happening in your life with care and curiosity. If this resonates, you’re warmly invited to reach out for your free 20-minute consultation - a gentle first step to see how we might work together.

My approach combines Gestalt and Integrative methods. I blend talking therapy with creative, somatic and experiential techniques, offering new ways to understand yourself. My work is about helping you create the conditions for new possibilities to emerge. Not by pushing, but by paying attention together to what's alive in the moment, what your body knows, and what's ready to shift.
