About me...

Hi, my name is Ylenia and I am a Relationship Therapist.
‍
I am Italian and I have been living in the UK for over 10 years. I have seen first-hand the impact that mental health issues can have on a person and those around them. From a young age, I had to take responsibility for supporting a close family member and this has made me wanting to learn more about mental health, and I discovered a passion for relationships.

Alongside being a Team Leader for the Samaritans, I have explored my passion further through pursuing a degree in Psychodynamic Counselling at Birkbeck University, this was followed by a training with Relate where I specialised in Relationship Counselling.

I use a range of methods and approaches to fit your needs and the challenges, you may bring into the therapy room. I combine a variety of Psychodynamic and Systemic therapy approaches.

As your dedicated therapist, I genuinely care about your well-being. I am committed to assisting you in navigating life's challenges with empathy, understanding, and expertise.
I wish that through our work you will form a clearer sense of yourself and your situation, start to find your own answers within you, and lay solid foundations for positive change.

I believe in creating a warm and empathetic environment where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgment.

Throughout our sessions, I will actively listen to your concerns, stories and emotions, providing you with compassionate support and understanding.
