Hello! I'm Valentina, and I'm glad you're here. If you are a young adult or a young person feeling overwhelmed by life or stuck in patterns that prevent you from moving forward, or if you are a parent seeking mental health support for your child, I can help, and I would love to work with you. Together, we will focus on practical strategies rooted in your strengths, with a good dose of self-compassion (and humour!) helping you or your child feel confident, resilient, and in control. You deserve to live your life to the fullest, and not be ruled by anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem, or whatever you might be struggling with right now.
I work in Edinburgh and online, with a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach. We'll explore past experiences and key attachment relationships, your thoughts and feelings, how you're influenced by the world around you, and how this plays into your difficulties. You will develop lasting skills to manage challenges, and promote better mental health.
I know it can be difficult to reach out for help, but you don’t have to face things alone. If you are ready to take the ultimate act of self-care, reach out. I would love to work with you, support you to reflect on the past and look toward your future, find your strengths, achieve your goals, and become more confident in the process. You've got this!

I mainly use CBT; we'll look at things such as thought-feeling-behaviour links, unhelpful beliefs, past experiences and relationships, and find practical tools to help you. I draw from other approaches depending on the person I have in front of me. I strongly believe in building a safe, trusting, collaborative relationship with my clients and I bring empathy, warmth and humour into each session.
