About me and my therapy practice
I am a Gestalt psychotherapist and clinical supervisor offering a relational, in-depth approach to therapy.
Therapy, for me, is not about fixing, but about creating the conditions needed for something new to emerge. I offer a space where you can slow down and begin to experience yourself differently.
I work with adults and trainees, supporting people who wish to explore themselves more deeply. Often, difficulties are not only about what we think, but about patterns we repeat, ways of relating that no longer serve us, or feelings that are hard to stay with.
My approach is attentive, engaged and grounded in the present moment. I may invite you to notice your experience not only in words, but also in your emotions and in your body, supporting a deeper awareness and a greater sense of choice.
Alongside my clinical practice, I also work as a tutor and supervisor in counselling training. I have experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and I offer sessions in both English and Italian.
Therapy is about becoming more aware, more able to respond, and more in contact with yourself and others.
I offer in-person sessions in Central London (King’s Cross area) and South West London, alongside online work.
Practice description
In therapy, I offer a space where you can slow down and begin to notice more closely what is happening within you and in your relationships.
Often, difficulties are not only about what we think, but about patterns we find ourselves repeating, ways of relating that no longer serve us, or feelings that are hard to stay with. Together, we explore these experiences with curiosity and care, allowing new understanding to emerge over time.
My approach is attentive, engaged and grounded in the present moment. I may invite you to notice how you experience things, not only in words, but also in your emotions and in your body. This can support a deeper awareness and a greater sense of choice in how you respond to yourself and others.
I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds, and I am particularly mindful of how cultural context, language and identity can shape personal experience.
My first session
The first session is an opportunity for us to meet and begin to understand what brings you to therapy at this time.
You are welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. We will explore what you are looking for, and whether working together feels right for you.
I may ask some questions to understand your background and current situation, but there is no pressure to have everything clear or fully formed.
We can also think together about what you might need from therapy, and discuss practical aspects such as frequency and any questions you may have.
