I am an integrative therapist and I provide a warm and inclusive space open to individuals of all cultures, backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations and abilities. 

I work with adults (18+), older adults and I have a specific interest and experience in working with people living with dementia and their families and friends.

I believe that it is never too early or too late to bring about transformation in one’s life.

Whether you are dealing with long-standing difficulties that you feel limit your ability to live a fulfilling life or you are going through a difficult patch due to a specific experience or issue, I can help you by providing a safe space where you can voice what is going on for you.

My aim is to facilitate a process where you can identify your needs and live a fuller and more authentic life. Ultimately, I would like to support you in finding and putting in practice the changes and solutions that best work for you.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and a Foundation Course in Intercultural Psychodynamic Approaches. As a counsellor I worked at East London Mental Health Support, seeing clients with a broad range of mental health difficulties. I worked in the field of mental and emotional wellbeing for many years, supporting people with dementia and their families, people with other life-limiting illnesses, those going through bereavement and refugees with experiences of trauma living with complex mental health difficulties.

Other than in English, I offer sessions in Italian and Spanish. If you have any questions, would like to know more about how I work or book an initial session please do get in touch.

My work aims at building together a bridge between the experiences that have shaped who you are today and who you are today, what you feel and think, the way you portray and relate to yourself and the world. Your experience of being alive in the moment will be our gateway to finding a way to a more fulfilling life, whatever that means to you. This work can be done at any stage of life.

As integrative therapist I draw on different approaches including psychodynamic, person-centred and Gestalt. In order to better meet your needs and support your self-expression, when relevant I incorporate the use of images and symbols, dreams and art.

My work with people affected by dementia is based on Tom Kitwood’s person centred approach and the Validation® method.

If you are affected by dementia, having access to a safe space in which you can voice what is going on for you, can bring relief, help you feel less isolated and activate internal and external resources.

The work is often a combination of supporting you in expressing your emotions and feelings and working out strategies (practical, communication) to help you maintain a good quality of life.

I work in a relational way. I believe that the quality of the relationship we establish is at the core of the healing and transformative process.
