Dr. Monica Andrea Trabalza
About Me
I am Italian/British citizen, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Italy (n.659). l lived nearly two decades in the UK ( in London, Oxford, and Nottingham), and my professional focus has always been the mental health sector with the IAPT project. While in England, I worked as a CBT therapist, couple therapist, EMDR practitioner and clinical supervisor. I work with adults having common mental health problems ( depression, anxiety disorders) with special focus on trauma management. My professional insurance is valid within the European Union, including the Swiss Confederation, the Vatican City State and the Republic of San Marino, as well as within the United Kingdom.
