About me and my therapy practice

Originally from Rome, I have made my home in Norfolk and have often found myself working with those for whom identity, cultural background, sexuality, and gender are not straightforward matters. My work is also suited for those navigating painful, transformative experiences, such as serious illness, loss, divorce, and separation, as well as those grappling with the enduring impacts of past traumas, including childhood abuse and transgenerational trauma.

As a relationally oriented therapist, my emphasis is on mutuality and co-creation, an endeavour that sees us equally engaged in a process that, ultimately, may offer you the possibility to take charge more fully of your life, history and legacy.

My approach draws on Humanistic, Jungian, and Systemic theories, alongside a rich tapestry of life experiences.

I hold a Masters (with distinction) in Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies (University of Essex), a Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling (University of East Anglia), and was awarded the prestigious David Holt Prize for academic excellence by the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex. As a member of the International Association for Jungian Studies (IAJS), I have published in their journal (IJJS) and was honoured with the 2024 Best Article Award. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, with research interests in C.G. Jung, analytical psychology, Jungian and Post-Jungian theory, transgenerational trauma, and Holocaust studies.

In addition, I hold a degree in fine art conservation, a teaching qualification, and a certificate (with distinction) in Religious Studies (University of Kent). I have also completed a course at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust that examines the complexities of the refugee experience.
