I've been in Private Practice since Nov 2008 in Manchester having graduated from the Manchester Institute, I prepared for my CTA, TEW and TSTA Exams at The Berne where I also gained my MSc in TA Psychotherapy through Middlesex University. I'm the founding Director of Psychotherapy Institute in the North West of England.

About me and my approach to counselling We all live in a world that is frequently complex to navigate, personally and societally – one that’s full of challenges, putting pressure on our identity or our relationships. It is natural for this to make us feel anxious, depressed, alienated, hostile, withdrawn or numb. These are very human responses, and simply mean we have thoughts and feelings. Coping mechanisms, although often unhelpful later in life, typically had a very important purpose at one time. This is often one of the reasons why someone seeks counselling in the first place. If we agree to work together, I would invite you into an exploration of your story, to understand together what has happened in your life that makes you uniquely you. Counselling can provide a safe space and valuable connection which allows us to make new meanings and ways of thinking, ones that allow for greater flexibility. Ultimately, counselling can be a space to learn new skills and to let go of whatever it is that doesn’t work anymore. I work at each client’s pace: any change, big or small, no matter how important or constructive, is also always a loss. It involves letting go of something that has been very important in order to get here. This loss can feel sad and scary, or even like disloyalty to yourself or others. I am here to support you in this. I offer long-term or short-term work, according to each person’s needs. A meaningful counselling relationship has the potential to enhance all other relationships in life. At times this journey might feel difficult when revisiting vulnerable places, but ultimately, I am convinced that counselling can help you to feel better, even if it gets worse at first. I accompany people on this journey while offering an environment that is warm, compassionate and where they can feel held. I am curious for us to find out together who you are in the world, how you came to be this person and where you want to go. I look forward to meeting you if you think this process might be helpful to you.

If you are thinking about therapy, you may have a sense that ‘something isn’t right’, or you may have a clear goal or issue in mind. Wherever you may place yourself on that scale, therapy offers a safe, containing, and resourcing space. One where you feel supported in working through an issue that you are experiencing. I value the unique perspective, experience, and identity of each person I work with. I work inclusively, with a neurodiversity-affirming ethos. Valuing the needs, preferences, interests, communication styles of the people I work with. I use a range of styles and approaches to find the way of working that feels right for each client. Working together to discover and make meaning of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I am interested in finding what suits the needs and preferences of each client. Using a range of approaches, styles, and modalities in addition to my transactional analysis training, to move with the client throughout our work together in therapy. We can explore what matters to you in an environment where it is safe, where you are welcome, and you feel supported. Where you can experience a healing relationship, and where parts of you feel free to emerge and grow, without stigma or shame.

About me - I have had an extensive training in Psychology and Clinical Neuropsychology in Italy, my home country, where I got my highest qualifications and the license to practice as Psychologist in 1995. Since then, I've always worked in the mental health field, overseas. After spending years living in Canada and the U.S., my family and I moved to the UK, where I have chosen to focus on my private practice in Coventry and Warwickshire. My practice - I offer Counselling, short and long-term Integrative Psychotherapy focused on Transactional Analysis (TA) which can be considered a bona fide and evidence-based treatment for a wide range of clients and psychological issues. In particular, as a CTA (Certified Transactional Analyst), I help my clients in developing constructive ego states, improving self-efficacy, and social functioning, thanks to the therapeutic alliance and the mutual agreement to work together on tasks related to their well-being. Having a deep interest in cross-cultural psychology, I do love working with multi-ethnic people. I use to work with individuals and couples of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, communities, and spiritual traditions. I also offer Counselling and Psychotherapy services to Italian speaking Expats in Birmingham, Coventry, and surrounding areas. "We are born princes and the civilising process makes us frogs."

I am a fully qualified UKCP registered Adult, Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist, Yoga teacher and Mindfulness Meditation Practitioner. I see people with a broad range of issues such as; anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self esteem etc. I work on an open ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling people to explore and work through their difficulties.

I work with adults and have a special interest in mens mental health and mens work. I of course work with men and women in longer term therapay.

My origins are in London and the south coast of England but I moved progressively north basing myself in Perth, Scotland since 1997. After graduating I worked in IT before ill health forced a change in pace. I came to therapy through a desire to understand the struggles I have within myself and with others, and to make more sense of this fantastic world I live in. As a therapist, my intention is to provide a safe and stretching space where we can explore your life, gain insight, develop coping strategies and support your personal development. This is enabled through a therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy and mutual respect. I work online and in-person.
