About me
I’ve spent over 20 years working across Social Care and Therapy. I’m registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I also work as a clinical supervisor, supporting other therapists in their practice.
Earlier in my career, I managed a Drug and Alcohol Rehab for people who had experienced homelessness. That was one of the roles I felt most passionate about as it reinforced my belief that everyone has the capacity for change, and that people deserve a life that feels meaningful to them. I’ve also worked as a operational Director within a large charity, which gave me a more personal understanding of how important it is to live in a way that’s aligned with your values.
Outside of work, I’m a keen freediver. For me, it’s not just a sport, it’s a practice in slowing down, staying present, and learning to feel at ease with depth and discomfort. And in many ways, those are the same qualities that begin to develop in therapy too.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
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.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
My approach is suited to those who are looking for more than short-term solutions. Therapy with me is a space to explore your experience in depth, within a consistent and supportive therapeutic relationship. Over time, we begin to understand the underlying patterns shaping your thoughts, feelings, and relationships—allowing for change that feels more grounded and lasting.
The therapy I offer is typically open-ended. We continue working together for as long as it feels helpful and supportive, and you are free to end at a point that feels right for you. My approach is warm, active, and engaged. I’m not a therapist who sits silently; I will share my observations, reflections, and questions with honesty and care, and at times offer gentle challenge where it may be helpful.
I am an Integrative Therapist, drawing on a range of approaches to support the work we do. This allows me to adapt how I work to suit your individual needs, something we can reflect on and shape together as our work develops.
I offer weekly 50-minute online sessions, usually at the same time each week. Regular sessions help create a sense of continuity and stability, which can support the therapeutic process. Where needed, longer or more frequent sessions can also be arranged.

Vitória Lorenzi
Munich, Germany
My work sits at the intersection of psychology and education. I believe growth is not reserved for moments of crisis. It can be intentional, gradual and meaningful along the way.
Jesmond Friggieri
Birkirkara, Malta
I believe that people can continue develop their potential. Though we pass from difficult times, nothing is unsurmountable. Many times we can handle these on our own; other times we need the support of a professional.
