I am a fully qualified Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) with advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for individuals.
My approach is warm and collaborative. Rather than simply listening, I explore your emotional landscape with you, helping you untangle confusion and connect with parts of yourself that have been unheard.
Together, we slow things down so you can make sense of what’s happening and move toward change that feels meaningful for you.
A little about me
I draw from professional training, years of clinical experience, and a deep belief in our human capacity to heal and grow.
My background includes over 18 years as an NHS nurse and counselling experience within NHS Psychological Therapies, where I supported people affected by cancer and their families through grief, loss, anxiety, uncertainty, relationship difficulties, existential concerns, and significant life transitions.
On a personal note, I am originally from Sicily and have navigated relational challenges and life transitions myself, which has deepened my understanding of how change, identity, and relationships can shape our emotional world.
I value inclusivity, compassion, and authenticity. I also welcome existential and spiritual experiences when they are meaningful to your healing journey.
My hope is that our sessions feel like a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported just as you are, without pressure to be anything else.
