Supervision

I offer a supportive and impartial perspective to help therapists, trainees, and other healthcare professionals in identifying core conflicts—both conscious and unconscious—presented by the people they work with.

Drawing from a psychodynamic framework, I assist in discerning between explicit and implicit communications, recognizing transference dynamics and therapist countertransferences, irrespective of the therapeutic approach employed.

Acknowledging the evolving dynamic between supervisee and supervisor is integral to supervision. I cultivate a safe and nurturing environment where open dialogue is encouraged, fostering professional growth through collaborative learning. Discussions encompass all facets of therapy and therapeutic interactions, including thoughts, emotions, and challenges.

With experience in conducting both one-to-one and group supervision sessions, I offer flexible formats, including face-to-face and online modalities. Through my work as a psychotherapist in the UK’s National Health Service, I’ve provided supervision to colleagues from various disciplines, including occupational therapists, social work, clinical psychology and trainee medical psychotherapists.

Currently, I am one of the clinical supervisors for the students enrolled in the Doctor of Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Clinical Practice (DPPClinPrac) program at the University of Exeter.

Areas Of Expertise

Expats

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.

LGBTQIA+

Navigating LGBTQIA+ identities involves unique challenges that can impact on mental health. Professional support can improve resilience and personal growth. As a queer therapist, I specialise in understanding and addressing diverse relationship dynamics, providing an open-minded space for exploration.

International students

Studying abroad for the first time as a young person can be extremely rewarding and eye-opening. However, many students find themselves unprepared for some of the challenges they encounter, and need further time and space to adjust and to feel more in control. I’m experienced in supporting students in this context, and will help you to feel more equipped to make the most of your time in Italy.

Outdoor Therapy

Some people find a sitting-down therapy setting to be overwhelming and a barrier to being able to seek out support. In specific circumstances, I can provide outdoor therapy sessions in green spaces.

Supervision

I can provide clinical supervision to therapists, clinical psychologists or mental health professionals, in individual and group contexts.

A safe and confidential space where you can explore the emotional, psychological and relational issues that may be recurring in your life and difficult to manage.
