Katia is an experienced bilingual psychodynamic psychotherapist specialising in both individual and couples therapy. She supports clients with a wide range of emotional and relational challenges, drawing on her years of clinical experience in private practice and at Tavistock Relationships in London—an internationally recognised centre for couple therapy training and research.
Alongside her private practice, Katia is an associate at The Practice in East Molesey, where she works exclusively with couples. She offers both face-to-face and online sessions. Fluent in English and Italian, Katia works with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, and she is also a regular guest speaker in the Department of Psychology at St Mary’s University, Twickenham.
Katia holds a Master’s degree in Individual and Couple Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and trained at Tavistock Relationships, where she specialised in Mentalisation-Based Treatment for Couples Therapy (MBT-CT)—an approach especially helpful for couples experiencing high emotional tension, conflict, or breakdowns in communication. She is currently expanding her practice through further training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a well-researched and compassionate approach that helps couples identify and express underlying emotions, fostering stronger and more secure connections.
Areas of expertise include:
- Relationship difficulties and communication problems
- Breakdowns in trust and loss of intimacy
- Infidelity and jealousy
- Parenting struggles and family dynamics
- Stress, illness, and ageing
- Anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem
Katia’s approach combines deep clinical insight with warmth and sensitivity, offering a safe and confidential space where clients feel supported. As a psychodynamic therapist, she works with both the conscious and unconscious aspects of relationships, helping clients explore how early relational experiences shape current patterns. Through this process, clients gain greater self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to build healthier, more authentic connections.
Katia is committed to providing an inclusive, non-judgemental environment for clients of all backgrounds, cultures, and sexual orientations.
She is a registered member of the Tavistock Relationships Association of Psychotherapists and Counsellors (TRAPC) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Fees: £110-120 per 50-minute session
