Katia is an experienced bilingual psychodynamic psychotherapist specializing in both individual and couple therapy. She offers support for a broad range of emotional and relational challenges, drawing on years of clinical practice. Katia has served as a Senior Visiting Clinician, Assessor, and Personal Tutor for trainees at Tavistock Relationships in London, an internationally recognized centre for training and research in couple therapy.

In addition to her work at Tavistock Relationships, Katia maintains a private practice and is an associate at The Practice in East Molesey. She offers both in-person and online therapy in English and Italian. Katia is also a regular guest speaker in the Department of Psychology at St Mary's University in Twickenham.

Katia holds a Master's degree in Individual and Couple Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and trained at Tavistock Relationships, where she specialized in Mentalisation-Based Treatment for Couples Therapy (MBT-CT). This therapeutic approach is particularly effective for couples experiencing heightened emotional tension and escalating conflicts.

Katia is also trained in a specialized intervention for couples considering separation or divorce. She helps them reflect on the underlying causes of their relational difficulties, guiding them through this challenging phase with greater clarity and compassion.

Her work addresses a wide range of issues, including breakdowns in trust, loss of intimacy, communication challenges, jealousy, infidelity, parental struggles, illness, ageing, as well as low mood and self-esteem. Katia brings deep clinical insight, warmth, and sensitivity to her sessions, creating a safe, supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood.

As a psychodynamic therapist, Katia works with clients to explore both conscious and unconscious patterns that influence their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. She believes that early relational experiences significantly shape current relationship dynamics, and her approach encourages self-awareness and personal growth, fostering more authentic connections.

Katia is committed to providing a non-judgmental, inclusive, and confidential space where clients of all backgrounds, cultures, and sexual orientations can feel free to express their concerns. Her practice is rooted in empathy, compassion, and a deep respect for each individual's unique experiences.

Katia is a registered member of the Tavistock Relationships Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors (TRAPC) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
