About me and my therapy practice
I’m a psychotherapist with a relational psychoanalytic approach.
I work with individuals, young adults and adults, both face to face and online.
I'm based in Ealing Common and in Holborn, at the Italian clinic Dottore London.
I work in english and italian.
Sessions last 45 minutes, apart from the first one which could be just a little bit longer.
Practice description
I believe therapy is a precious non-judgemental space in which we can meet ourselves.
It often begins with a genuine wish to make a symptom disappear or to resolve a specific issue. But it can also become a space where we begin to understand the meaning behind our difficulties and symptoms, opening up new ways of looking at ourselves and our experiences.
Throughout this journey, and through the opportunity to look at ourselves a little more closely, we may discover that those symptoms no longer have the same place in our lives. We may find different, healthier ways of expressing our needs and feelings.
My first session
During the first session we try and explore the reasons that brought that person to ask for help, together with the expectations and wishes about therapy.
Some people may need a little more time after the first session to reflect on whether and how they would like to continue, while others may already feel ready and motivated to begin.
I believe that respecting each person’s pace is very important, as it allows them to take ownership of their choice and decide whether that specific therapy feels right for them.
