Expats

Many people decide to move to Italy to work, study or retire. While the expatriate lifestyle promises new and exciting cultural experiences and personal development, it also presents its own set of challenges.

Common challenges experienced by expats include:

Adapting to new languages and cultures
Dealing with unrealistic expectations
Navigating feelings of isolation and homesickness
Balancing demanding schedules

Managing existing mental health conditions
Maintaining long-distance relationships
Finding personal support
Building new friendships and relationships

I offer support tailored to meet the unique needs of expatriates. Drawing from my personal journey as an Italian who has lived in the United Kingdom for an extended period, I understand the intricacies of cultural adjustment. With professional training in intercultural issues and cultural differences, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with numerous expats, gaining insights into their challenges and the complexities of adapting to a new culture.

I provide face to face therapy from my consulting room in the Porta Romana area of Milan. Depending on suitability, I also offer sessions outdoors in green spaces.

Areas Of Expertise

Expats

Many people decide to move to Italy to work, study or retire. While the expatriate lifestyle promises new and exciting cultural experiences and personal development, it also presents its own set of challenges and can be very disorientating. I’m experienced in working with expats to increase their confidence in navigating change and cultural differences, alongside any other issue you may present with.

LGBTQIA+

Navigating LGBTQIA+ identities involves unique challenges that can impact on mental health. Professional support can improve resilience and personal growth. As a queer therapist, I specialise in understanding and addressing diverse relationship dynamics, providing an open-minded space for exploration.

International students

Studying abroad for the first time as a young person can be extremely rewarding and eye-opening. However, many students find themselves unprepared for some of the challenges they encounter, and need further time and space to adjust and to feel more in control. I’m experienced in supporting students in this context, and will help you to feel more equipped to make the most of your time in Italy.

Outdoor Therapy

Some people find a sitting-down therapy setting to be overwhelming and a barrier to being able to seek out support. In specific circumstances, I can provide outdoor therapy sessions in green spaces.

Supervision

I can provide clinical supervision to therapists, clinical psychologists or mental health professionals, in individual and group contexts.

A safe and confidential space where you can explore the emotional, psychological and relational issues that may be recurring in your life and difficult to manage.
