About Edinburgh Counsellor

I am a qualified psychologist and counsellor & psychotherapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and improve their mental wellbeing. Originally from Italy, I have been living in the UK for over 12 years. My multi-lingual and multi-cultural background allows me to offer a unique perspective and understanding, particularly for those who may be adjusting to life in a new country or culture. Fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, I am able to work with a diverse range of clients, offering a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore personal concerns.

My academic background includes a degree in Psychology from “La Sapienza” University of Rome, alongside qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy from Edinburgh University. I am committed to providing high-quality therapy, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor sessions to meet the individual needs of my clients.

Services

Personal Therapy

In my therapy sessions, I aim to provide a safe, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where clients can feel comfortable discussing a variety of personal issues. I work with individuals on a range of concerns, including:

• Anxiety and Depression: Helping clients understand and manage the impact of anxiety and depression on their daily lives.

• Relationship Issues: Supporting clients with difficulties in relationships, whether with partners, family, or friends.

• Low Self-Esteem and Confidence: Assisting individuals to build their self-esteem and develop confidence in themselves.

• Bereavement and Loss: Providing emotional support for those coping with the grief of losing a loved one.

• Trauma and Abuse: Helping individuals work through experiences of domestic, sexual, physical, or emotional abuse.

• Parenting and Family Concerns: Addressing parenting challenges and supporting families in navigating difficult dynamics.

I use a blend of psychological approaches, including person-centred therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy, to offer a holistic and personalised treatment plan for each client.

Multilingual Therapy

Being fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, I offer counselling sessions in all three languages. This is particularly helpful for individuals who may feel more comfortable speaking in their native language, allowing for better expression and understanding.

Initial Consultation

During the first session, we will discuss your needs and goals for therapy. This session will provide an opportunity to understand how counselling can help you and whether it is the right step for you. If you feel comfortable, we can schedule further sessions and begin the therapeutic process.
