Arts therapies involve the informed use of artistic processes within a therapeutic relationship, offering experiential and action-based ways to support personal and relational growth.
Drama and movement therapy
I specialise in supporting individuals who need a safe and confidential space to explore and navigate experiences of loss, adversity, and change, including:
grief and trauma
serious and chronic illness
infertility problems
stress and burnout
depression and anxiety
personal and relationship difficulties.
My approach is integrative and collaborative, aimed at supporting insight and growth. Throughout the sessions, you will have the opportunity to explore various embodied, imaginative, and narrative methods. A key part of this work is cultivating awareness and compassion, gently bringing non-judgmental attention to the present moment.
I have over a decade of experience working with hospices and bereavement organisations, supporting individuals affected by life-limiting conditions and bereaved families. I am a registered Arts Therapist (Drama) with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and a member of the British Association of Dramatherapists. Both have codes of conduct which I closely adhere to.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes and tend to be at the same day and time, weekly or fortnightly. Sessions can be held in-person (in Padua, Italy) or via online platforms, using your own laptop, with a stable internet connection. The duration of the interventions varies, in time-limited therapy we agree on a limited number of sessions, while in an open-ended therapy we review the duration of the treatment as we go along.

Arts therapies workshops
Arts therapies workshops incorporate storytelling, movement and image-based practice to promote growth and change. The activities encourage the exploration of autobiographical narratives and the creation of new meanings.
There is no requirement to have had any prior experience in the arts, or drama, as I work with the therapeutic aspects of the creative process, focusing on your pace and potential.
I also offer creative workshops for health and care professionals, using embodied, imaginative and narrative methods to explore the emotional impact of clinical work and support professional well-being.
