An opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings freely without judgement, and learn how to better manage on the not so good days….(and we all have them).

I became a Counsellor after using the services of one myself years ago and understand how it is to sit as a client and empathize with the bravery behind your decision to contact me. Along your journey of 'understanding you' I aim to 'understand you' too, working in a non-judgmental, safe and ethical way. Together we will explore the issues you bring, in the hope you can shed light on your current feelings and reactions to them. I mainly specialise in Anxiety, ADHD/ASD and Domestic Abuse (inclusive of emotional).

We all get stuck, from time to time. Sometimes it feels like we cannot move forward. It can be frustrating, constraining and painful. Yet there is energy behind every blockage, and looking at it from above – as if from a bridge – can be the first step to unlocking our potential. This is what I aim to offer to my clients. My approach adapts to individual needs and is culturally sensitive, as it draws on my experience of transit and change. I practise in English and Italian. Face to face and online. My practice is grounded in the understanding that adverse experiences can affect us on a neurological, psychological and physical level.
