About me
I'm a UK-qualified Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist with prior experience as a field manager in conflict areas, working for the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international and non-governmental organizations.
Having realized how the knowledge I acquired through re-training would have been incredibly useful to cope better with both highly stressful situations and difficult personal issues, I am passionate about sharing it with others.
Through travelling extensively and working/living in many different countries, I have a wide perspective and am very sensitive to cultural differences, whilst deeply appreciating every person's singularity.

Approach
I wish to help people help themselves - to cope better, think more clearly, live more fully. I believe that sorting ourselves out is paramount for our personal well-being, which in turn has positive effects on our families and communities.
Through my life & work experiences and certified training in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) and Stress Management & Resilience Building, I have acquired solid skills and constantly update my knowledge.
Hypno-CBT is evidence-based, collaborative (we are a team!), goal oriented and problem focused. It emphasizes the present and aims to be time-limited: a typical treatment is 6-10 sessions depending on your issue, but can be also less (or more if needed of course). It enables you to become your own therapist through skills training, as you learn to identify, evaluate and modify/ manage maladaptive thoughts and behaviours.
In our first assessment session, which typically lasts 1.5 hours (instead of the standard 1 hour of following sessions), we look at what your most pressing issue is about. We start figuring out together how it's come about, and even more importantly what keeps it there, how we can work with it - setting specific goals, to be reached through concrete steps.
There are innumerable paths to get to any destination: during therapy I'll help you find out which one is yours, combining different approaches and a wide variety of techniques, integrated - when relevant - with hypnosis as a means to rehearse, fully experience and profoundly absorb the change you need.
You can expect from me warmth, understanding, humour and zero judgement.
If you reach out, I'll be happy to connect for a free 30 minute chat, to see if we fit :)
