With nearly two decades of working with vulnerable children and young people, my first and most valuable experience was as a key worker in a foster care unit. Despite their mental and emotional difficulties, I witnessed how access to therapy made it possible for children and young people to process their trauma and build trust with their caregivers. This experience increased my interest in working therapeutically with vulnerable children.

I believe in a person-centered approach to therapy, where each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and experiences guide the therapeutic journey. My sessions are designed to create a safe, nurturing space where children and young people can express themselves and work through their challenges, using play and other creative means.

As someone with dual nationality, born and raised in Italy to Nigerian parents, and now living in the UK, one of my main priorities is creating a more inclusive and effective treatment environment that respects and values the diverse experiences of the clients. I understand the importance of being sensitive and responsive to the cultural contexts of the individuals and families I work with, which allows me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.

I have extensive experience working with Looked After Children (LAC) and alongside adoption agencies. In addition to my private practice, I work with charity organizations such as Place2Be and the Catholic Children’s Society, providing counselling and creative therapies in schools. Over the past years, I have also offered creative based therapy to young adults. Using creativity has been very beneficial as an alternative to traditional talking therapy for many of my clients.
