Clinical Psychologists are trained at doctoral level to work with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including those that are more complex, longstanding, or shaped by several factors at once. The training includes assessing difficulties in depth, developing a shared psychological understanding of what may be contributing to them, and drawing on multiple therapeutic models rather than working from a single approach alone. In practice, this means I look not only at symptoms, but also at the wider emotional, relational, developmental, health-related, and life factors that may be shaping what you are going through, so that therapy is tailored in a way that is thoughtful, flexible, and clinically grounded.

The first paid appointment is a 75-minute initial assessment. It is a space to talk in more depth about what has been difficult, what has led you to seek therapy now, and what you would hope might be different. I may ask questions about your current difficulties, relevant background, relationships, health, and any wider circumstances that seem important, not because you need to explain everything at once, but so that we can begin to build a fuller picture. The aim is not simply to gather information, but to start making sense of what may be happening and to think together about what kind of support may be most helpful. By the end of the session, we would usually have a clearer sense of the difficulties, whether it feels like a good fit to continue, and what the next steps might be.

Follow-up sessions are 50 minutes and are shaped around your needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Some sessions may involve reflecting in more depth on patterns, emotions, or relationships; others may be more focused on practical change, coping, or trying out new ways of responding. Often, therapy involves both. I work collaboratively and at a pace that feels manageable. The aim is not to follow a fixed formula, but to keep the work thoughtful, purposeful, and relevant to you. We will review things as we go so that therapy remains helpful and grounded in what you want from it.

Yes. I offer therapy in both English and Italian, and you are welcome to choose the language that feels more natural or comfortable for you.

I work with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, low mood and depression, stress, burnout, trauma-related difficulties, identity and self-worth issues, and the emotional impact of illness or persistent symptoms. I also have particular experience in areas where difficulties are more complex, longstanding, or shaped by multiple factors at once. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, you are welcome to get in touch.

At present, I work with adults aged 18 and over only.

What you share in therapy is treated as confidential, and it is my responsibility to keep it that way. What you choose to do with what is discussed in therapy is entirely up to you. The main exceptions are if I am concerned about serious risk to your safety or someone else’s, or if there is a legal obligation to disclose information. If this were ever relevant, I would usually aim to discuss it with you wherever possible.

Yes. Sessions take place via a secure online platform, and I take care to ensure that they are held in a private and confidential way. For therapy to feel safe and useful, it is also important that you are able to join from a private space where you feel comfortable speaking openly, use headphones if needed, and avoid public Wi-Fi where possible.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, I ask for at least 48 hours’ notice. Sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice may still be charged.

Sometimes it becomes clear in the initial assessment that another kind of support may be more helpful, or that I may not be the best fit for what you need. If that happens, I will be honest with you about it and, where possible, help you think about alternative options.

I do not usually offer medico-legal reports or formal diagnostic reports as part of private therapy. If you are looking for something specific, you are welcome to ask and I can let you know whether it is something I can help with.

I’m currently exploring insurer recognition. If you would like to use private insurance, you are welcome to get in touch first and I can confirm what is currently possible.

This service is not suitable for urgent or acute crisis support, including situations where there is an immediate risk to your safety or someone else’s, an acute need for hospital support, or active safeguarding concerns. The inbox is not monitored daily, so I may miss urgent communication. If you are at immediate risk, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent help, contact NHS 111, your GP, or your local crisis team.
