About Me
My name is Alessio and I am a Certified Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (UKCP and BACP registered).
My passion and main focus is working with people who encounter interpersonal relationship challenges in all domains.
I strongly emphasise my work on the relational aspect of psychotherapy and human interactions which I believe being one of the key aspects to understand human suffering. Indeed, understanding how we build relationships and participate in those, is the most important aspect of therapy as I believe that relationships are central to our life and wellbeing, but also the place where most of our problems originate.
If you're interested in better understanding yourself, I will help you increase your self-awareness and provide emotional support. Together, we'll identify any self-defeating and outdated patterns, empowering you to create more satisfying and effective alternatives for your current goals.
I work in private practice online and in central London and offer therapy in French, Italian and English.

Where can I help? Some examples:
Anxiety
Feelings of unease, such as worry or fear, excessive and intrusive worrying that disrupts daily functioning. Other signs include agitation, restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, tense muscles and trouble sleeping.
Self-Esteem
Lack of confidence about who you are and what you can do. Often underlying feelings of shame learnt in past relationships with loved ones or caregivers. It can be manifested in feelings of inadequacy, not feeling lovable or good enough. In relationships we often feel like the other person does not value us and we make ourselves small as a result.
Depression
Difficulties to start the day. Feeling low, sad or having a depressed mood. Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed.
Changes in appetite — weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting. Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much.
Boundaries
Sometimes in childhood we learnt for example that it is not ok to say no. When we find it difficult to set our boundaries at work or at home, our responsibilities can quickly become overwhelming.
Boundaries are essential to having strong and healthy relationships with the ones we love, but also with the people we cooperate in our daily life, such as bosses or friends.
Relationships
Difficulties in relationships with friends, family, partners, co-workers. Fear of intimacy and recovery from toxic relationships in order to gain trust again and learn how to avoid the usual self-defeating patterns, for example in always choosing the wrong partner.
Direction
Lack of direction or simply moments when individuals question whether their lives have meaning, purpose, or value, and are negatively impacted by the contemplation. Sometimes in life we can get into what we call an existential crisis, but in fact what we are truly looking for is meaning and new ways to find satisfaction and feel alive again.
