Therapy

I provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore the emotional, psychologic, and relational issues that may be recurring in your life and difficult to manage. My approach focuses on increasing your self-reflective capabilities and offering insights into how to initiate change. Through therapy, you can identify unhealthy patterns in relationships, recognizing their roots in the past and the unconscious dynamics behind them. This process opens the door to developing new ways of relating both personally and professionally.

How it Works Step by Step:

  1. Initial Consultation:
    Before beginning your therapy journey, I offer an initial consultation lasting approximately 60 minutes, conducted over one or sometimes two sessions. During this time, we discuss your thoughts and reasons for seeking therapy. It’s an opportunity to explore whether this form of therapy aligns with your needs and if my approach resonates with you. This initial meeting allows us to collaboratively develop a treatment plan tailored to provide you with the support you seek.
  2. Therapy Sessions:
    I offer open-ended psychotherapy with sessions lasting 50 minutes, scheduled once or twice a week. While I typically engage in long-term therapy, I am flexible and can accommodate short-term focused work based on your preferences and needs.
  3. Brief and Long-Term Therapy:
    Whether you prefer brief or longer-term therapy, I adapt my approach to suit your requirements. I offer both online and face-to-face sessions from my studio in Milan- Porta Romana and also outdoor session
    I receive regular supervision for the work I offer and I work along the code of practice of the British Psychoanalytic Council the Italian Association of Counselling AssoCounsellig.

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.
