About me and my therapy practice
Welcome to my BACP page. My name is Paolo, I am a qualified counsellor and I can support you through a wide range of psychological challenges, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, loss, relationship problems, stress, anger, identity issues, loss of direction and purpose, feeling stuck, lost or overwhelmed. I offer a safe, confidential space for exploring difficult issues without fear of being judged or rejected, a space for expressing thoughts, feelings and emotions that you may find difficult to share with others - or even admit to yourself. Life is complex and having a space for oneself can be extremely helpful. Together, we will explore your struggles and their roots and ponder possible ways to tackle them, expanding your self-knowledge and awareness, with the overall aim to achieve sustainable positive change.
Practice description
My prior career in philosophy informs my deep appreciation for reflection, the pursuit of meaning and the power of human agency in making choices that are more or less consistent with one’s values, purposes and general sense of self. My experience as a migrant enriched my understanding of how heritage can shape our views of the world and of ourselves, raising my awareness on the complexities of cultural identity and multiple heritage.I am now an integrative counsellor, mostly using insights from person centred, cognitive-behavioural, cross-cultural & psychodynamic approaches. I integrate and tailor these to the needs of each client.
My first session
Starting therapy is a brave step and finding the right counsellor is key - a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship can go a long way in the healing process. I offer a free 20 minute phone or online consultation to see how it feels for us to work together. From there, I offer in-person and online counselling with sessions lasting 50 minutes.
