Meet Giovanni

There are times when it feels as if something is missing or all is lost, sunny days are misty and cold, crowded places are lonely, thoughts are too painful to have or do not flow. Anxiety, panic or fears can also cast a dark shadow on our days.

Psychotherapy is a relational process. The trust developed in the room allows you to explore and safely venture into the deep and well defended areas of your psyche. As the narrative unravels traumas and hidden complexities will emerge and come to awareness. This process  eventually will empower your real Self, will validate your Being and will improve your resilience.

Training and Experience

My practice is informed by a 5-year first class degree in philosophy and a 7-year MA course with BCPC (Bath Centre of Psychotherapy and Counselling). I have trained and practiced with Cruse bereavement care, DHI which focuses on addiction and On Track which offers therapy for young people.

Prior to devoting myself to a career in mental health, I worked for over 30 years in the rapid world of international finance. This enables me to bring a unique perspective on some of the challenges and anxieties inherent in the intense and competitive corporate environment.

Currently I practice psychotherapy in Gloucestershire, Bath and London. I am member of UKCP and abide to its code of practice. I work in English and Italian.
