Life can take unpredictable turns, leaving us in pain and disbelief. At times we get over it. At other times we dwell in there for a long time as if there was no way out. It may feel lonely and unexplainable and yet time passes by. ​
My name is Erika. I am a Relational Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist in Ealing, West London, and London Bridge, Central London. I work with individuals and couples presenting with a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges with a particular focus on trauma, anxiety, depression, sexuality and relationships. I integrate EMDR Therapy, where appropriate, to help you reprocess difficult experiences that might be influencing your life in the present.​
​
I believe our relationships, from childhood to the present day, can shape our being and the way we connect with ourselves and others.
We may find that certain recurring themes or ways of living in our life have become familiar, even though they don't always feel comfortable or bring us the joy we long for.
In the safe and supportive environment of the therapeutic relationship, we can gently explore these experiences as they emerge, understanding that they reflect our unique journey. We will work together towards developing understandings and meanings that resonate with you while conveying space for new possibilities that feels enhancing to your life experience. ​
My practice is based in Ealing (W5), West London, and in London Bridge (SE1), Central London. I also offer online sessions via Zoom.
I offer psychotherapy in English and in Italian, which is my native language.​​
My fees are on a sliding scale between £80 and £120 per individual psychotherapy session and between £95 to £130 per couple counselling session. You can pay what you think is most appropriate to you given your financial circumstances.

What happens in the first session
I suggest we meet for an initial consultation so that you can get a sense of what it feels like to work with me and decide if it is the right decision for you at this time. We might meet for two initial sessions before committing to working together.
In our initial meetings, you can tell me about your motivations and what you wish to achieve and we can explore how we might work together. We can meet for four-five sessions before making a decision about a possible longer-term work. I have regular reviews to see how therapy is working for you and if it matches your expectations.
