Most couples do not come to therapy because they have stopped caring. They come because something between them has become painful, repetitive or distant, and they are no longer sure how to find their way back to one another.
Katia is particularly interested in what lies beneath the surface of conflict, not only what couples argue about, but the fears, longings and vulnerabilities that can be much harder to express. Her approach is warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental, offering couples a space to slow things down, feel heard and make sense of the patterns that can leave feeling hurt, stuck or disconnected.
Katia is an experienced bilingual couples psychotherapist with many years of clinical experience in private practice and at Tavistock Relationships in London. She holds a Master’s degree in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and has specialist training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Mentalization-Based Treatment for Couples Therapy (MBT-CT).
Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, Katia helps couples understand the emotional needs, past experiences and relationship patterns that shape the way they respond to one another. Her work is grounded in attachment theory and informed by EFT and psychodynamic psychotherapy, helping couples communicate more openly, deepen emotionally connection and fulfilling ways of relating.
Katia works with couples experiencing:
- Communication difficulties and recurring conflict
- Emotional distance and disconnection
- Loss of intimacy and sexual difficulties
- Infidelity, betrayal and the rebuilding of trust
- Parenting and family transitions
- Stress, anxiety or low mood affecting the relationship
- Life changes, illness and caregiving pressures
- Cultural, identity and cross-cultural issues
- Attachment difficulties and differing emotional needs
At The Practice in East Molesey, Katia offers both face-to-face and online sessions. Fluent in English and Italian, she is especially attentive to the ways in which culture, language, family expectations, migration and identity can shape intimacy, conflict and a sense of belonging within a relationship.
She is also a regular guest speaker in the Department of Psychology at St Mary’s University, Twickenham, and is a registered member of TRAPC and BACP.
Fee: £125 per 50-minute session.
