Kia ora, I'm an Italian therapist and I offer supervision for professionals and trauma specialised therapy for adults and couples. I have worked as a psychologist and a psychotherapist during the last 20 years in six Countries and in four languages. I arrived in beautiful NZ some years ago, following my passion for whales and dolphins. Here I offer my services as a registered Counsellor and an EMDR certified therapist. At the moment I'm also training in the IFS therapeutic modality. I have the expertise and experience to work with psychological and emotional issues ranging from everyday worries to complex mental health concerns. I work with adults, couples, professionals and for several Governmental and private agencies. In therapy, change comes in waves, and it follows cycles, like with the tides. I provide to my clients a safe and professional environment to navigate those therapeutic tides in the smoothest way possible. I bring to the therapeutic process competence, clarity and clinical discernment for the client to be able to dive safely in the deep waters of personal transformation. I strive to approach the therapeutic work in a culturally competent manner and to create a strong therapeutic bond in which clients are emotionally validated and feel “seen” and appreciated. This is achieved through a deliberate, precise, and mindful intervention where both me as a therapist and the client contribute with mental, emotional, spiritual, and ethical dedication. Clients report that they experience tangible results as enhanced self-esteem and trust, reduced severity of symptoms as anxiety, depression, grief or mental confusion, and the restoring of their capacity for secure, and organized relationships, among others. If what I have described so far resonates, I can't wait to hear from you.
