I have over 10 yrs experience of working with depression and anxiety and the links with trauma and physical health problems. My belief is that the body and mind are strictly connected and they can have huge effects of each other.
My approach is psychodynamic which means that my focus is on how past events might have influenced your way to respond to certain life events, by making links and facilitating the exploration of repeating patterns of behaviour. I am committed to provide a safe and confidential space to help you feel safe in this exploration.
I have experience of working short and long term using a variety of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I do not believe in a "one fit all" approach but I try and use what fits best the needs of my clients.
My area of expertise is working with people that have suffered depression and anxiety as a consequence of traumatic experiences in childhood.
I have a lot of experience of working with people from different cultural backgrounds and I can also offer counselling in Italian language. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I abide by their code of ethics and practice. I offer a free initial telephone consultation to give you the opportunity to find out a bit more about the way I work and decide if counselling is right for you at this time.
