I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapist and counsellor and Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA), and am based in Tunbridge Wells in Kent and also work online.
I have worked for several years in private practice with clients presenting with a range of issues. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, issues of identity and belonging, sexual, gender and relational issues, difficulties in self-regulation, bereavement, self-harm and disordered eating. I also have a particular interest in the intersection of relational trauma and neurodivergence - my practice is neurodivergent-affirming. I have several years' experience as a therapist in the voluntary sector, where I worked with homeless clients and survivors of sexual traumas. Having lived and worked for many years in Italy, I speak Italian, which may be helpful if you need a therapist who understands the language and culture.
My background is in the arts and education, and I came to retrain as a psychotherapist and counsellor after several years of my own personal therapy. The experience of therapy was transformational for me, and I wanted to be able to offer the potential for positive change to others.
I have an MSc with Distinction in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and am a Certified Transactional Analyst (CTA). I also have a Postgraduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling using the Arts and a BA (Hons) (1st class) in Fine Art.
