Hello, and welcome to my professional profile.
I am an Accredited Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and EMDR Practitioner working with Adults, Children, Young People and Parents. For over ten years, I have worked in the NHS, educational settings, and private practice, helping individuals recover from emotional difficulties such as attachment issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD and the impact of adverse experiences/trauma, including developmental trauma. 

My professional qualifications are a Master's degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust-Essex University) and EMDR-UK accredited registration. Professional development includes attachment, neuroscience, family and systemic interventions, internal family systems, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches inform my work, and I tailor my practice based on individual needs and preferences. With young clients, I use a non-directive play-based approach and involve parents/carers within/alongside the work.

Research shows that adverse childhood experiences, distress and trauma (including historical and inter-generational) can affect development, behaviour, functioning (including learning), and a person's general ability to engage with and appreciate relationships and life. I am committed to supporting individuals who have experienced mental distress and parents/carers concerned about their child’s symptoms/behaviours. My approach is culturally sensitive, compassionate, and supportive of people facing challenges related to self-esteem, identity, oppression and prejudice such as neurodivergent people and individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+.

I am a registered provider with Aetna, Allianz, Aviva, Cigna, Ever-North, Vitality and WPA. 

In addition to Psychotherapy, I offer clinical supervision to counsellors/psychotherapists who are registered or working towards registration with the BPC, BACP, BPF and NCPS. 

I am available to offer online sessions in English or Italian to international clients from Mondays to Fridays, with some flexibility on appointment times. Please book a free telephone/video consultation or email me any questions.
