Giovanna was incredibly helpful and reassuring when I was going through a break up/life transition. She helped me get through it and taught me techniques to help!!

Giovanna has been extremely helpful. She definitely has the right approach with teenagers. She has given my daughter the confidence and techniques to help with her anxiety amongst other issues. I cannot recommend her highly enough. More...
Yo-yo dieter for 30 years, Hertfordshire
Giovanna’s sessions were enlightening and educational and gave me the tools to move forward on my journey. I was made to feel at ease. I would thoroughly recommend.
Artist, Barnet
Giovanna supported me enormously before, during and after my cancer treatment. After the treatment, I felt terribly low. Giovanna unlocked my sense of self, creativity and fun that had been greatly eroded during my numerous cancer procedures. I’m so grateful to Giovanna. More...
Trauma survivor, Barnet
After a traumatic family event, I had three therapy sessions with Giovanna to help lower my anxiety around driving and car crashes. Giovanna created a calm, peaceful environment and has a naturally soft and caring nature - which immediately makes you feel cared for. Giovanna was well-informed on pragmatic ways of explaining why the brain recognises past trauma. I would not hesitate to use Giovanna’s therapy service again and would recommend her to anyone who needs help. More...
Mother suffering from social anxiety, Bristol
Giovanna has helped me with my anxiety more than I could have imagined. She listened to what I had to say about how I was feeling. She really helped me understand why I might be feeling the way I did and explained ways to overcome the thoughts I was experiencing. The techniques she taught me to overcome my anxiety have worked wonders. They are easy to remember and I go back to them when I am having a wobble. I found her way of communicating really positive, easy to understand and very calming. Thank you so much, Giovanna! More...
Teacher, Barnet
I saw Giovanna for several sessions to treat my long term (20 years +) insomnia. During the sessions, I felt Giovanna really listened to me and asked sensitive, perceptive questions which helped me understand my sleep problems. She also gave me practical tips and information to manage my sleep which has made a real, long-term difference. I can't thank her enough!" More...
What do you love most about your job?
I work with people that are struggling, feel stuck and hopeless. I have a lot of experience working with teenagers and young adults.
I love seeing people change, and become happier, less stressed, and anxious. Their depression lifts, their moods become more positive, they sleep better, and their relationships improve.
