About Me
My Profession
​
I am a Counselling Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and I am a qualified Systemic & Family Psychotherapist (member of UKCP). My private practice is based in London and I work with Individuals, Couples, Families and parent groups in English, French and Italian.
​
My Background, training and experience
​
After a BSc in Psychology and MSc in Clinical Psychology at the La Sapienza University in Rome, I have completed a MSc in Family Therapy at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London. I also hold a Postgraduate diploma in Attachment, Psychoanalysis and Couple relationship at the Tavistock Centre for Couple relationships, UEL.
​
I have worked in different CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service) in the NHS in London for several years and I have experience working with families with children and adolescents, from very diverse cultural backgrounds, at the clinic and in schools. I have also experience in working individually with adolescents and adults.
In the last 7 years, I have specialised further in working with Individuals, Couples and Families with older children, offering therapy in three different languages.
​
I have also recently trained as a COS (Circle of Security) Parenting Group Facilitator.
