TRAININGS, QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCES
I am a Clinical Psychologist, and a registered member of HCPC. My training combined psychodynamic, integrative and multicultural approaches.
I completed my first BA in psychology at the University of Padua (Italy), followed by a Laurea Specialistica (i.e. 2-year post BA equivalent to Master) in clinical psychology at the same institution.
After working as a clinical psychologist, I moved to the United States, where I obtained a second BA in psychology and a Master in Counselling and Personnel Psychology at the University of Minnesota.
I previously worked as a clinical psychologist with child survivors of abuse and adults suffering from a wide range of neuropsychological problems. I continued my work as a counsellor for international students at the university assisting clients with anxiety, phobia, depression, self-esteem/self-image issues, bullying and cultural adjustment difficulties.
