About me

I am a medical doctor from Italy, currently working in a psychiatric hospital while also offering coaching sessions. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), tailored to best meet each individual's therapeutic goals.

Having traveled extensively and studied in various countries and languages, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with a diverse range of people. I’ve always been deeply intrigued by the unique stories they carry and the richness of their cultural backgrounds, which continue to inspire my work and perspective.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioural therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
CoachingRecommended for those who want support and motivation to achieve personal or professional goals, often with a structured, goal-oriented approach.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.

Welcome to my online practice!

I’m a psychiatrist in training, offering coaching sessions to individuals who may benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a research-supported method I specialize in. Additionally, I’m pursuing training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), another evidence-based approach for addressing mental health challenges.

CBT and EMDR are powerful tools designed to help you overcome difficulties by identifying and transforming negative thought patterns. In our online sessions, we’ll work together to enhance self-awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and improve emotional regulation. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, I’m here to provide guidance and support on your journey toward a more fulfilling life.

If you’d like to learn more about how CBT or EMDR can help you, or if you’re ready to book an appointment, don’t hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to working with you!
