How it works
Booking
You pick a time in the calendar. It takes two minutes. Nothing to pay at booking: I send the payment link after the meeting.
Meeting online
50 minutes of conversation, at your pace. The video link arrives by email.
What comes next
A single consultation or regular therapy once a week. Long-term work starts with a first meeting and 3–5 setup sessions. The decision always stays with you.
My approach
I work with an integrative approach. I use Gestalt therapy as my primary method, alongside the existential approach and body-oriented methods. I usually listen more than I speak. I do not give advice and I do not decide how you should live. Together we look at how you arrived at your difficulty and what resources you have to move towards resolving it.
I can stay beside you in a crisis, hold even the strongest feelings, and accept how you show up without judging it. Your psyche will take from therapy exactly as much as it is ready to take.
For me psychology is a guide into the world of shadows, where you can find yourself, find your footing and walk through life with more confidence.
About me
For more than 15 years I ran companies in recruitment and staff training. Seven years ago I closed that management career and opened a private psychotherapy practice. That experience taught me to read context as well as feeling: work, money, careers, responsibility.
I live abroad myself: Malta is my home. I know what it takes to rebuild a life in another country, in another language, and not from what clients tell me.

FAQ
Is therapy right for me?
If you are reading this page, you already have a question. The first session helps you see what to do with it. One meeting is sometimes enough to find a direction.
What if this is my first time in therapy?
There is nothing to prepare. The first session runs as a conversation: you say what brought you here, I ask questions and explain how the work is set up. No prior experience of therapy is needed.
What happens in the first session?
It is a conversation. You say what brought you here, I ask questions. At the end we decide how to carry on, and you are not obliged to decide anything straight away. For long-term work we agree a therapeutic contract: the rules, the timing and the payment.
How does payment work?
After the meeting I send a link for card payment. €50 per session, with nothing to pay at booking. For ongoing work we agree the payment routine in the first sessions.
What if we are not a good fit?
That happens, and it is normal. Therapy works through a relationship, and a relationship does not form with everyone. Say so to me directly, at any point. I will not take offence, and if you want I will help you find a colleague who suits you better.
Does therapy work online?
Yes. I work online only, and my clients live in different countries across Europe. A video call holds the same thing a consulting room does: a conversation, attention, and work on what you bring. Many people say it is easier to talk about themselves from home, and that afterwards there is nowhere they have to travel to.
How confidential is this?
Completely. I follow the KEPP code of ethics: what happens in a session is discussed with no one. The site collects no data about your health.
Do you give advice?
No. I help you find your own footing and your own answers. Advice from outside rarely works. Your own decision works.
What if I need to reschedule?
Write to me 24 hours ahead and we will move the meeting. Rescheduling this way costs nothing.
Do you work with couples or children?
I work one to one with adults. If your question is about a relationship, we work with your side of that relationship.
Which countries do you work with?
Online, across Europe. I live in Malta and we fit session times to your time zone.
Sessions are not a substitute for emergency psychiatric care. If your life or someone else's life is at risk, call 112. That number works across the EU.
The first step takes two minutes
