After having taught for seven years at the Faculty of Psychology of an Italian private university, I moved to Northern Ireland where I founded Aletes Mental Health, which I now direct as the CEO. I am a Fellow of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (UK) where I served as an Ethics Committee Member and currently offer Clinical Supervision. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I transitioned my business online, accessing the global market where I still work treating adults, couples, and families from any country in the world. I was trained to provide therapy in English to speakers of other languages.
I specialize in neurodivergence and personality disorders. My approach is both conservative towards the identity of a person and integrative in relation to the modalities I choose for the treatment. I believe that each one of us is unique and different, so therapy must be tailored to the specific needs of every new client seeking help.
I offer two innovative psychological treatments: virtual reality exposure therapy and cranial electrotherapy stimulation. My practice requires full registration; after your initial assessment, my assistant will guide and assist you throughout your journey. By appointment ONLY: Monday to Friday, 1 PM to 7 PM (UK time).

The first session at my practice is typically an assessment during which I gather comprehensive information about you, your environment, and your interactions within it. I will also conduct a risk assessment to ensure your environment is secure and that you are safe, fit, and ready for therapy. Together, we will agree on desirable outcomes, methods, and timeframes for your treatment.

I am primarily a dialectical therapist, working within a compassion-based and solution-oriented framework. This means that while I understand your thoughts and empathize with your feelings, I also encourage you to take steps forward, introduce, and implement positive changes into your life and routine. This approach will help you discover who you are, what you want, and how to succeed.
