My Approach to Helping

It is a common misconception that those who go into therapy are weak, defective or deficient in some way. Many people enter therapy with that belief, and so experience a high degree of anxiety as they approach or commence their first session. In my experience, quite the reverse is true, it is the brave (I am anxious about what I may find but I know I need to), those who know their limits (I can't sort this out on my own), the resourceful, and those who deep down sense that they can live another way and do things differently, but they don't yet know how.

My approach involves a collaboration between client and me, and it is this therapeutic relationship which enables issues to be explored and worked through. I provide a safe, confidential, supportive environment for my clients.

I am trained in Integrative, Humanistic, Transpersonal psychotherapy as well as ISTDP which is a form of experiential dynamic therapy, which gives me a breadth and depth of knowledge and experience to draw upon so that I can tailor make each individual therapy depending on the needs of each client. This may be brief focused work or longer term therapy. I provide evidence based therapy which is the clinical application of the latest in neuroscience research.

More Info About My Practice

I am a Registered Mental Health Provider with HTH Worldwide Insurance and Global Health.
I divide my time between London and Florence (Italy) and provide therapy via skype for London clients when I am in Italy and for my clients in Italy when I am in London.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I am particularly adept at helping people with depression and/or anxiety. These two often related problems often come with other symptoms such as low self esteem, relationship problems, disordered eating. I use Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) to address the core issues directly. This evidence based approach has been proven to be very effective.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Psychotherapy helps people to recognize and understand the mechanisms that create their problems and how to break free of those patterns. People then feel empowered to live their lives more fully.
