Dr Elisabetta Romani

Hello and welcome to “You Matter Therapy Space”, a calm and supportive setting where change happens—one session at a time! Are you experiencing feelings of emptiness or a lack of purpose and meaning? Perhaps you struggle to find your voice, or you can’t think clearly and compassionately about yourself. Often individuals seek counselling to address specific problems, but at times they desire to understand themselves better, both in terms of internal processes and in relation to others. You may lead a good enough life, but still feel the desire to change certain aspects which are causing you some distress. In a warm and non-judgemental space I will listen to you very carefully and help you uncover meanings, whilst reflecting on your patterns and choices.

I have worked in a variety of mental health and therapeutic settings, supporting individuals struggling with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, trauma, PTSD, relationship issues, stress, loss and bereavement.
Having lived in different countries prior to settling in the UK more than 20 years ago, I embrace and deeply respect cultural and individual differences. Open to diversity in all its forms, I hold an anti-discriminatory stance and I am sensitive to issues related to belonging and adjustment.
My special interests include Attachment, Trauma, Intergenerational Therapy, Jungian Dream Analysis, Animal Symbolism, as well as working therapeutically with photographs (my Doctoral Research ) and other artistic mediums clients may bring to therapy.
