Paolo Assandri

I am an Italian and English speaking Psychotherapist and HCPC Registered Counselling Psychologist.

I have more than 10 years of experience in the field of psychotherapy and counselling, both online and in person. 

I have sound expertise in the treatment of eating disorders, especially binge-eating disorder, and anxiety disorders.

In the last few years, I have taken a keen interest in the psychological management of chronic pain. In the treatment of these conditions, I have developed a personal psychotherapy protocol which makes use of psycho-educational interventions, mindfulness-based activities and individual psychotherapy.

As an Italian-born expat, I especially enjoy working with Italians looking for a psychotherapist with whom they can speak in their native language and share a common cultural background.

I offer short-term as well as long-term counselling and psychotherapy both in English and in Italian, considering that I am an Italian native speaker. 

Considering my ten-year experience in online psychotherapy, I am glad to offer online sessions on Zoom, Skype and Cliniko. I am happy to use other video-conferencing apps (such as FaceTime).

I consider myself a respectful, open-minded and non-judgmental practitioner, But above all, I am a human being who has maintained, throughout the years, an intact curiosity and interest towards life and its various, unpredictable manifestations.

Depending on my schedule, I am glad to offer a free of charge 30 minute initial session on Zoom, Skype or Cliniko. 

Please note that  I do not offer phone sessions.
