About Me

For years, I worked in traditional health and care settings.

​I loved supporting people, but the systems around me felt too narrow, too focused on fixing rather than understanding, looking at curing the symptoms rather than the roots.

​

I know what it’s like to feel stuck, to carry emotions that have no words, to sense that something deeper is calling but not know where to begin.

Through my own journey and challenges, different practices, studies and learning different layers of the Self, I learned that true change happens when we’re willing to see and feel all the parts of ourselves, and to bring them home.

​

A tutor once told me,“Counselling is like a train: you get on to travel from A to B, and when you arrive, you’re ready to walk on your own two feet again.”

​This is the vision I hold for every person I work with.

That by gathering all the parts of yourself, even those left behind, we can move forward with greater harmony, confidence, and trust in our own way.

​

I was born in Italy, with both Italian and Slovenian heritage. As a teenager, I spent time living in Brazil, far from my family.

My journey took me to India for a Yoga Teacher Training, where I first encountered Ayurvedic and yogic perspectives on health and the flow of life energy.

Afterwards, I spent two years immersed in studying therapeutic arts at the City of Bristol College: exploring movement, drawing, music, and acting as powerful tools for emotional expression and embodiment of the Self.

Alongside this, I trained and worked for the NHS as a Health and Wellbeing Coach, holding space for clients in clinical settings.

My ongoing curiosity and personal journey drew me to systemic perspectives: working for years with my own therapists and mentors, and eventually enrolling in a three-year Systemic Transpersonal Counselling degree.

Through this, I refined my skills in holding space as a professional therapist.

I integrated studies of Somatic Therapy for C-PTSD and nervous system functioning, Reiki, Breathwork, Family Constellations and I'm currently doing a training in Shamanic Healing, Somatic Trauma Release and Ritual Constellations at the Nemeton School of Marco Massignan.

​

Today, I dedicate myself to holding one-on-one spaces where people can reconnect with their own wisdom, intuition, and sovereignty, a sacred inner space that belongs to them alone.

​

My mission is to provide support and pathways to personal harmony that are both effective, long lasting and empowering.

My Counselling and Coaching Values and Approach

I work through systemic transpersonal counselling and coaching, with somatic wisdom integrated, so we can meet mind, body and soul as one interconnected whole, and move towards holistic harmony.

​

Somatic (Body Wisdom)

​

Sessions focus on root causes of stress and trauma held in the body, using body-based awareness to access the places where emotion and energy are ready to be released and integrated. I’ll invite you to listen to breath, sensation, emotion, and the subtle signals that often hold the key to lasting change.

​

Systemic

​

We are not isolated beings, each of us is deeply connected to our family, relationships, and the wider world. I integrate systemic work, recognising that our design, our emotional and rational structure, is deeply tied to our family system. In sessions, we gently explore these connections, often through somatic awareness, guided imagery, and family constellations, so stuck patterns can soften and clarity can emerge.

​

Transpersonal (and Art Therapy)

​

Transpersonal psychology supports the expansion of your field of consciousness, moving beyond the rigid schemes of man-made thinking. This approach honours intuition, dreams, and the deeper layers of who you are. Art therapy is vital in my work, as it prompts the development of the right side of the brain: the creative side, responsible for processing emotions and connecting with the sensorial, unconscious self.
