Many people decide to move to Italy to work, study or retire. While the expatriate lifestyle promises new and exciting cultural experiences and personal development, it also presents its own set of challenges and can be very disorientating. I’m experienced in working with expats to increase their confidence in navigating change and cultural differences, alongside any other issue you may present with.
I’m a bilingual and bicultural psychotherapist, with expertise in supporting expats, international students and adults struggling with their mental health. I’m based in Milan, and work in private practice, and lived for many years in the UK, where I worked across various sectors including wellbeing support in universities, psychotherapy provision in the National Health Service (NHS), and mental health community support in non-profit organisations.
I trained at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust in London, and I’m a registered member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and of the Italian Association of Counseling (AssoCounseling). I currently provide clinical supervision to international doctoral students in psychotherapy at the University of Exeter, UK.
