A Space to Navigate Your Inner and Outer Worlds
I offer specialist psychotherapy and ADHD coaching to support you through profound life challenges. My approach is always neuro-affirming and culturally sensitive, recognizing that your experience is unique.
We can work together on:
1. Navigating Your ADHD Brain This is the foundation of our practical work. We move from feeling "stuck" to feeling capable, with support for:
Executive Functions: Concrete strategies for time management, organisation, and overcoming procrastination.
Anxiety & Emotional Regulation: Tools to manage the specific anxiety, emotional intensity, and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) that often come with an ADHD brain.
Focus & Well-being: Building routines and systems that work with your brain, not against it, to reduce burnout and sustain deep transformative work.
2. Managing Life's Major Transitions & Crossroads Change is hard. For a brain wired for novelty yet sensitive to uncertainty, it can be overwhelming. I provide a supportive space to explore:
Relocation & Cultural Adjustment: Drawing on a decade of experience with the international community in London.
Major Life Decisions: Finding clarity and confidence at career, relationship, or identity crossroads.
Existential Concerns: Exploring deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and belonging when you feel adrift.
3. Healing from Difficult Experiences Our past experiences shape our present. I offer a safe, trauma-informed environment to gently process:
Loss & Grief: Navigating bereavement, relationship endings, or the loss of a past identity, and learning to grow around grief.
Trauma: Acknowledging the unique impact of traumatic events on your well-being and finding a path toward recovery and safety.
Therapy in English & Italian My dedication to understanding diverse experiences is central to my work. I offer a safe, culturally sensitive environment for therapy in both English and Italian.
