About Me

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with over 22 years’ experience in a variety of mental health services including NHS and voluntary agencies, and in private practice. My core model is Psychodynamic, but I have carried out other trainings over the years including the Foundation course in Systemic Therapy and Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy.
I have extensive experience of working with adult clients from varied age groups and cultural contexts, both in brief and long-term psychotherapy. I offer therapy and supervision in English and Italian.
I work in person and remotely.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

Experiences of abuse, especially in early life, can leave lasting imprints on how we see ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the world. These wounds often affect one's self-worth, ability to trust others and emotional safety, impacting many areas of life. Through compassionate and tailored psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy provides a safe and supportive space to process these experiences. Together, we will explore how past abuse continues to affect you, work through difficult emotions, and build a stronger, more empowered sense of self. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to face it alone.
Depression can feel like an invisible barrier, affecting how you experience yourself, others, and the world around you. It may show up as persistent sadness, low energy, or a loss of interest in things that once brought you joy. In psychodynamic psychotherapy, we will work together to uncover the underlying emotional patterns and past experiences that may contribute to these feelings.
Struggles with identity can leave you feeling uncertain about who you are, what you value, or where you belong. These challenges often stem from unresolved experiences, relationships, or expectations that have shaped how you see yourself. Psychodynamic psychotherapy provides a compassionate and supportive space to explore these complexities. Together, we will work towards gaining clarity, confidence, acceptance, and a deeper connection to your true self. This process can open the door to greater self-understanding and a more fulfilling life.
Our early life experiences shape how we connect with others, often influencing our relationships in ways we may not fully realize. Patterns from the past can reappear in the present, leading to challenges like conflict, misunderstandings, or feeling disconnected. Psychodynamic psychotherapy explores these recurring patterns and their roots. By gaining deeper insight into your emotions, behaviors, and relationship dynamics, you can make meaningful changes, build healthier connections, and experience relationships with greater understanding and fulfillment.
Trauma can deeply affect how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others. In psychodynamic psychotherapy, we create a safe and supportive space to explore the roots of your experiences, helping you process unresolved pain and discover patterns that may be holding you back. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, fostering deeper self-awareness and building resilience as you move toward healing and growth.
