I am a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist who works in the London Victoria area. My training underlines my belief that sometimes our experiences can leave us feeling insecure or lacking in confidence, making it difficult to form or sustain healthy relationships or cope with everyday life. Talking this through with a psychotherapist can help you to understand and value yourself more. It is not the job of a psychotherapist to tell you what to do but to offer you different perspectives and a different experience of relating.

You might be wondering whether therapy could help, and what it might be like to talk something through properly. Perhaps something specific has you reading this: anxiety, low mood, trauma, a loss, a difficult relationship or situation. Or, just a sense that something needs attention. Whatever has prompted that thought, you are very welcome to get in touch to discuss whether therapy feels right for you.
My aim is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, including about the things that are hard to say out loud. Sessions with me tend to feel more like a genuine conversation than something formal.

You might be feeling stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or held back by self-doubt, even though you want more ease and confidence in your life. Together we will gently explore what matters most to you, understand the roots of your struggles, and set goals that feel realistic and hopeful.
Drawing on an integrative, collaborative approach, sessions are tailored to your unique needs so you can build insight, shift unhelpful patterns, and move toward feeling more grounded, free, and fully yourself.

Welcome. Are you here because you are struggling with something in your life and need some help and support? Perhaps you are experiencing some symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, trauma or addiction? Or something else? Would you like someone to listen to you in a confidential, safe place, without judgement? Are you interested in improving your confidence and increasing your self-esteem? Life can really test us at times and we may be unable to find the answers within ourselves or indeed from our family and friends.

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, anxiety, or self-doubt take up too much space. You might be coping on the surface but sensing that something deeper needs attention. Perhaps you’re struggling with burnout, relationship difficulties, or the lingering impact of past experiences that still influence your confidence, relationships, or sense of direction. You may feel exhausted from holding everything together or unsure how to create real change. Many of my clients come to therapy wanting to understand themselves more deeply, ease emotional pain, and find a calmer, steadier, and more compassionate way forward.

I work integratively, my training was in existential psychotherapy. This means I believe that life is naturally going to present struggles and that we need to navigate our way through life's givens: loneliness, anxiety and death are all givens of our life. I believe that the goal of therapy is to create space to reflect and align oneself with one's values and understand our limitations. I believe that trauma has a lasting impact on our bodies and minds, and that through understanding the mind-body connection, healing can ultimately take place. I currently hold a post working in GP practices with the NHS.

My approach to psychotherapy involves trying to understand and address difficulties by increasing awareness of the more underlying aspects that lead to the development of symptoms. I will start by being curious and listening carefully at what brought you to therapy: the moments that marked your life, your relationship to others and the issues that may be making life hard for you. The specific words you use to describe your problems and the thoughts, feelings and memories that may come up during sessions are all important as they can open the way to understanding the more underlying concerns that lie behind symptoms.

Feeling disconnected from yourself or the life you imagined?
Sometimes, life events such as separation, trauma, or loss can leave us feeling stuck. Even without a clear crisis, the weight of routine or unresolved experiences from the past can quietly shape the present, making it hard to move forward.
If you're finding it difficult to navigate day-to-day life or want to reconnect with a sense of purpose, counselling can offer a space to reflect, process, and begin to shift. My approach is thoughtful and collaborative, supporting you to explore what’s holding you back and what might help you move forward.

I see individuals and couples with a variety of needs, ranging from deep psychological and emotional difficulties to a wish to optimize inner resources, life competencies and wellbeing. Distress may arise in response to specific life events, or more generally from difficulties in our private or professional lives. Therapy offers opportunities to be fully heard, to identify obstacles in the way of healing and growth, to generate insights and to develop new life skills. I approach my work with sensitivity to the uniqueness of each individual, and tailor my interventions to best meet their therapeutic goals and sustain positive change.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or a sense of feeling emotionally stuck. Some people come to therapy during periods of transition such as parenthood, relocation, grief, or changes in identity and relationships. Others may struggle with recurring patterns, loneliness, or emotional overwhelm that feel difficult to understand. Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers a reflective and confidential space to to slow down and think together about what may lie beneath these experiences, helping develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and lasting change.

From childhood, I've been drawn to people's stories, fascinated by diverse cultures and beliefs and this curiosity shaped who I am today. With degrees in psychology and neuroscience, I worked in clinical and research settings across Italy and India. My personal therapy and four years psychotherapy training gave me tools and deepened my passion to better support people in their life's journey. If you're feeling stuck emotionally, in relationships, work or life, I could help. You might be experiencing that some ways of dealing with problems no longer serve you. You may feel the need to be heard and wanting to work things through.

Do you find yourself caught in cycles that feel impossible to break, even when part of you understands why? Perhaps anxiety or emotional overwhelm has become familiar, or trauma has left its mark in ways that are hard to name: shutdown, hypervigilance, difficulty trusting, or relationships that follow the same painful patterns. You might be using food, substances, or compulsive behaviours to manage what feels unmanageable, carrying shame about that too. If you are navigating LGBTQ+ identity, neurodivergence, or questions about who you are and how you came to be this way, you are very welcome here.
