I am a state-licensed psychotherapist in Malta and hold the European Certificate of Psychotherapy. I'm specialised in working with trauma and with sexual, gender and relationship diversity, including LGBTQIA+, kink and non-monogamy.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
EMDRRecommended for those dealing with trauma who want to process painful memories in a structured way to reduce their emotional impact.
Psychedelic integration therapyRecommended for those who have had psychedelic experiences and want help understanding and integrating the insights into their everyday life for personal growth and self-discovery.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.
I use an integrative and holistic approach in my work. This means that I draw upon all the tools that I have learnt depending on what is most beneficial for you. These tools include psychotherapy, coaching, psychology, trauma neuroscience, EMDR, counselling, mindfulness, embodiment, breathwork and somatic sexuality. As an integrative therapist I don’t try to fit you into a single way of understanding what it is to be human. Instead, I use different approaches that I’ve been trained in to respect the multi-faceted reality of human experience. These approaches include cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, humanistic, relational and body therapy. In my trauma-informed work, I place a strong emphasis on the body and emotions while aiming at integrating different parts of oneself. I also work with people who want to prepare for, or are seeking to integrate, altered/expanded states of consciousness.
