Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a UK licensed therapist. I am a member of the BACP ‘British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy’. I offer both long-term and short-term therapy, both in English and Italian.
I work with a variety of issues, and I specialise in helping people with the following challenges:
– Anxiety, worrying and overthinking; Overcoming inner obstacles rooted in feeling unsafe or uprooted in life – symptoms can vary for everyone, but the most common include paralysing anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, overthinking, excessive worrying and OCD.
– ADHD and other neurodivergence; Learn how to manage attention deficits and hyperactivity and other types of neurodivergence such as autism and dyscalculia in your daily life and how to turn it into a distinctive factor to support your life journey.
– Relationships; Overcome difficulties in intimate relationships, friendships and with family and learn how to manage jealousy, anger and need for control, how to set healthy boundaries and how to ask for what is important for you.
– Self-esteem and confidence; Overcome self-defeating thoughts and feelings of self-worthlessness to have a better relationship with yourself and a more fulfilling social and professional life.
– Life and career transitions; Build more awareness of your life situation and explore possible changes to find out what is next on your path. Navigate the psychological challenges of transitional phases and times of uncertainty such as redundancy or divorce.
– Stress and burnout; Learn to manage the stress of a busy life at home and at work, taking a step back, becoming present, and prioritising what is most important. Work to make painful experiences such as burnout transformative.
– Men’s issues; Sometimes it is easier to talk to someone of your same gender. Difficulties with sex, dating and friendships may be easier to explore with another man. Together we will explore how to be a man in the modern world.
I integrate techniques from several approaches such as Psychosynthesis, CBT, Person‑Centred, Gestalt and Existential approaches.
I have special interest and specific training in image-based therapy, drawing from Jungian psychology. Where appropriate, we may introduce image-based techniques – such as guided imagery and drawing techniques.
I also trained in mindfulness techniques, and I offer them when useful to manage symptoms.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked for over 10 years in the financial industry and in sustainability across the UK, Italy and East Africa. I covered several positions, I led teams and mentored more junior colleagues.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges or navigating life changes, research indicates that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility – people can choose the mode of contact that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care during transitions.
All participating professionals are licensed, and individuals may change therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers an accessible and practical route to support for everyday mental health needs.
