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. 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.
