Hampstead Therapy Practice

I have graduated from Regent's University London with a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy, after completing my certificate in psychotherapy – also at Regent's. I am a member of the Society for Existential Analysis and a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy – membership number: 395409), and I am bound by their code of conduct and ethics. I have two previous master's degrees, one in history of art from Université Lyon 2 (France) and one in journalism from Luiss University, Rome.

I am influenced in my work by a range of modalities, especially existential philosophy, psychodynamic theory and Jungian analytic psychology.

The existential approach of depth psychotherapy, which is at the structural core of my work, draws from multiple sources: psychoanalysis and psychiatry, as well as philosophy and literature.

While I believe a sound theoretical structure to be essential for the ethic therapist, I strive to deliver not a theory-driven but a relationship-driven therapy. Psychotherapy is a gradual unfolding process, where the therapist gets to know the person in front of her and assist them in untangling the features of their current reality.

One of the most important tasks of therapy is to create a space where one can meet themselves – to discover who they are. The meaning of our existence, the phenomenology of our experience, taking ownership of our way of being in the world, the observation of the everydayness and the wholeness of our humanity, in the frame of authenticity, freedom and responsibility, are explored in the therapeutic space, in a spirit of acceptance, dialogue and openness.

I am currently pursuing a doctorate in Psychotherapy at the New School of Psychotherapy and Couselling – Middlesex University (London).
