About me and my therapy practice
Our pain speaks a language entirely unknown to us, because it has gone unheard until now. And so, the overwhelming and exhausting force of meaninglessness creeps into our lives, shaking—and eventually toppling—the certainties we had relied upon, leaving us inert in the face of the present and the future. Yet we must remember that such a condition is very close to the experience of birth. In fact, it may be a second birth (A. Carotenuto, Crossing Through Life)
What may seem like a limitation or a painful block right now often holds within it the seeds of growth. In time, that very difficulty can transform into a doorway—an unexpected passage toward deeper understanding, healing, and self-discovery.
Together, we will gently explore these inner landscapes, allowing what once felt like a burden to become an opening to something new and meaningful. Wherever you may be on your journey, I will listen to your story with care and respect and accompany you through this process, discovering a richer sense of who you are becoming.
Practice description
I am a British/Italian Integrative Humanistic Counsellor and Therapist and I offer short or long term therapy sessions, in English or Italian, to adults.
Combining a person-centered approach with insights inspired by Jungian psychology and existential philosophy, I offer a transformative pathway to self-discovery based on care and respect.
Talking therapy is a powerful tool, yet sometimes words alone cannot capture the depth of our emotions. Therefore I incorporate creative methods such as visualizations, use of spontaneous images, Empty Chair, nesting dolls to connect more easily with emotions and express feelings that may be difficult to articulate.
What I offer:
- Holistic approach (connecting mind, body, soul and addressing the multifaceted nature of the human experience).
- Creative integration (to connect mind and emotions)
- Sessions tailored to your unique needs.
- Empowering environment to enhance your strengths.
My first session
The first step is to complete a New Client Intake Form that will be sent via email.
After that I offer a free 20 minute initial video call to explore how we may work together. This is an opportunity for you to share what brings you to therapy and ask any questions you may have. I will also ask some questions about your past and current situation to determine whether my expertise aligns with your needs or if a referral to another professional might be more suitable.
After this conversation, if we both agree to move forward, we will schedule our first session.
