I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy, a space to speak about what troubles you and work through it. You may be seeking therapy because of anxiety, depression, trauma, difficulties in relationships, or questions around sexuality and desire.

Perhaps you recognise painful patterns that keep repeating. You find yourself in a familiar position, despite your efforts to change things. Or a particular event has unsettled how you understood yourself and your life. Sometimes what brings you is harder to name—a sense of being stuck, or that something is not quite right.

A word such as anxiety can name a difficulty, but it tells us little about how you experience it, how it arises, or what it is bound up with. My work involves listening closely to what you say and how you say it. There is time to follow the questions and connections that emerge, without rushing to settle their meaning.

Through this work, it may become possible to loosen the grip of a symptom, ease suffering, relate differently to yourself and others, or pursue new interests and ideas.

We begin with an initial consultation to speak about what brings you to therapy, how I work, and together we can consider whether to continue meeting.

I work in English and Italian, in person in London E1, near Liverpool Street and Aldgate East. Online or telephone sessions can also be discussed.

Ongoing fees are £60–£80 per session, agreed according to personal circumstances and how often we meet. I also reserve some hours for people on low incomes, including students. If you are looking for a reduced fee, please mention this when you get in touch.

To arrange an initial consultation, you are welcome to contact me through this profile.
