psychotherapy
I offer an embodied, relational and creative approach to psychotherapy. An introspective enquiry that takes place in the form of a dialogue between you and me. This dialogue can be verbal as well as explored through the creative media.
please note all therapy sessions take place online.
You can rely on a confidential, non-judgmental and non-stigmatising space to explore feelings and emotions at your own pace.
Why the arts in therapy? In my personal journey I find using creativity to be helpful in accessing parts of myself that have often been too foreign to acknowledge cognitively. Working with the arts can offer a useful way to bridge the world of the unconscious and its symbols along with potential meaning. It can help us to make sense of how to untangle problems and feelings of being blocked or stuck. Engaging creatively often means taking distance from the problem to be able to reflect on it from a different angle.
Often arts therapies have the reputation to be for people who are creative, for people that 'know-how' to make art. I hope to de-mystify this so you can think about whether it is what you are looking for. I believe that creativity is universal, in the sense that it is available to every human being should you choose to make use of it.
The initial period (also known as assessment) is carried out over a period of 6 sessions and will determine if we can work with each other. I hope our initial time will allow you to talk freely about what brought you to me, along with any goals you may wish to achieve. You will gain an idea about the way I work, you can check if you are comfortable with me and my approach and ask me anything that you need to know. I will take the time to explain my policy on confidentiality, fees and cancellations. Sessions can be held in English and Italian.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes and my fee is between £65 and £75 per session, according to your income.
An initial free 30-minute conversation can be arranged before the assessment process begins.
