About me
Drawing on a range of coaching and therapeutic tools, I work with clients during periods of significant change, adapting my approach to each individual. I've worked with people from diverse backgrounds and I understand how important it is to feel seen and safe when exploring personal themes such as sexuality, identity and belonging.
My experience as a classical musician gave me first-hand insight into how performance anxiety affects the body, leading me to train and work in stress management from 2007 onwards. My approach is also informed by many years of secular meditation practice.
Background
Originally from Italy, I've lived and worked in London since 1994 and in recent years I've spent extended periods of time in India.
Before moving into wellbeing, I worked in music and language teaching, alongside translation and interpreting.

Fees
Additional information
Fees vary depending on length (60 or 90 minutes) and whether you book a single appointment or a block of sessions. Reduced-fee options are available for students and others on lower incomes.
Sessions are held online and frequency is flexible, ranging from weekly to monthly, depending on your needs.
Initial conversation
At the heart of effective coaching and therapy is a sense of ease and trust that allows the work to develop naturally. This is why I offer a free initial conversation to explore whether we're a good fit.
