Counselling in WC1A

HAT Psychotherapy is a partnership of experienced therapists, providing high-quality remote therapy - either online, or on the telephone, as you prefer. We understand your time is precious and offer you support at times which best suit your needs. In addition, we enable you to "pay it forward": because for every session you have with us, we'll fund a session for someone who is unable to meet the cost of his/her own therapy and whose needs cannot be met by the NHS. We've come across and dealt with most issues, over the years, so, whatever it is which is concerning you, why not speak to us about it?

The evidence suggests that finding a therapist you feel able to talk to and understood by is key to a successful therapeutic experience. I am a down-to-earth, intelligent and non-judgmental integrative psychotherapist working with a range of issues. Ideally, therapy is a collaborative partnership and my style is active and empowering. I see you as the 'expert' in your life and myself as the 'expert' on therapeutic interventions. Together we focus on utilising your strengths and fostering insight and awareness in a safe and confidential environment. I love my work and look forward to helping you improve your mental health and wellbeing

Many people experience emotional difficulties at some point in their lives, triggered by a particular event, or as a result of deeper unidentified issues. Talking to a psychodynamic therapist, in a safe and confidential environment, provides a unique opportunity to identify the themes and patterns of thought and behaviour that can generate emotional distress,. This can involve talking through past experiences and understanding how they impact you today. The relationship with the therapist is important, as it provides an opportunity to examine ways of thinking and relating in the here and now as well as developmental factors.

I'm an integrative counsellor working both online and in-person with individuals and couples. In addition to helping my clients with various mental and emotional challenges, I have a special interest in working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship issues. You may be experiencing relationship problems - with a partner, family and friends or colleagues and wondering why particular patterns keep occurring. Perhaps you are struggling with low self-worth, or that negative voice within you has become so loud that you are finding it difficult to relate to others and the world around you.

Whether you’re going through a major life change, reflecting on trauma from the past, grieving the loss of a loved one or of a dream, or something just doesn’t feel quite right, I’m here to help you explore your inner world, understand your patterns of behaviour and be the you you want to be. It all starts with a hello. Saying hello to me is the first step to saying hello to you. Together, we will work on you so that you feel seen, heard and understood.

I am an Italian psychodynamic psychotherapist and group analyst working in Central London. My approach is friendly and empathic. I believe that the quality of one's relationships is crucial to mental health and am committed to the development of a trusting relationship with my clients. My aim is that you feel safe in our sessions, so that you can start sharing what might feel scary or shameful to you.

Seeking help or therapy is not always an easy decision. Most of the times this decision implies undertaking a process of reflection and the awareness that something feels off - or is simply nor alright - and that pain or emotional discomfort are involved. Psychotherapy can be the answer as it represents a tool to better deal with the important moment in which we come to terms with who we are and we allow ourselves to change. It can help you nurturing your resources and overcoming the barriers that are blocking you from reaching what you would like.
