QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

Qualifications

​

I successfully completed five 

years of post-graduate training in psychotherapy at Regent’s University to achieve:

• The Post Graduate Diploma: Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling

• The Advanced Diploma: Existential Psychotherapy

• The Hans W.Cohn Award for Excellence by The Society of Existential Analysis.

Subsequently I have undertaken 

additional specialist training in 

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. I continually explore relevant training opportunities and read up on 

current developments in psychology and psychotherapy so as to keep up to date with important new research and evolving professional practice.

​

Experience

​

I have been a practicing

psychotherapist for 13 years in private practice and in the NHS in London. I had 

previous successful careers in the fashion and catering businesses and 

have also raised two children while moving between four different European countries.

Consequently, I am very sensitive to the difficulties often encountered by people struggling to adapt to new and unusual cultural environments. I have specific experience of working with the difficult or confusing transitionsfrom young adulthood, into parenthood, middle age or old age and possible bereavement. I am fully conscious of the anxiety or sense of despair these changes can bring about.

​

Languages

​

I can offer therapy in English, Italian and French.
