Helping you understand yourself more deeply, so you can live more freely
My name is Mattia, and I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (MBACP), offering therapy in Haringey, North London, and online across the UK.
Over the years, I've become less interested in asking, "What's wrong with someone?" and more interested in understanding how they came to relate to themselves in the way they do. Again and again, I've found that our struggles begin to make sense when we view them in the context of our relationships, life experiences, and the ways we've learned to adapt.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, relationship and family difficulties, low self-esteem, life transitions, and religious or spiritual trauma.
Whatever has brought you to therapy, my aim is to help you make sense of your experiences with curiosity and compassion, so that you can develop a more trusting relationship with yourself and begin making choices that feel more authentic and aligned with your own values.

and online UK wide
Services and Areas of Support
You can choose short-term or longer-term therapy, depending on what feels most appropriate for you. Sessions are available in person in Haringey, North London, or online, making it easier to access support while allowing space for a consistent and considered therapeutic journey at your own pace.
Identity, Self-Worth and Shame
Support in understanding who you are, softening harsh self-criticism, and rebuilding a kinder, more grounded sense of self.
How We Walk This Path Together
I don't believe people are defined by their symptoms. I believe our struggles often tell a story, and therapy is an opportunity to understand that story with greater clarity and compassion.
Therapy is a collaborative journey, where we work together at your pace to build trust and emotional safety. My aim is to help you explore how past experiences shape present challenges, gently uncovering thoughts and feelings that may feel difficult to share.
By understanding recurring patterns in your mood, relationships with other and yourself, you can gain deeper self-awareness and begin to move forward with greater clarity and change.
Safety and Trust
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the vehicle towards change. We begin by building a firm foundation of safety, ensuring you feel held and heard from our very first meeting in a space that is entirely yours.
Deep Exploration
Through gentle enquiry, we look at the patterns, beliefs, coping mechanisms of your past, to understand how they influence your life today, uncovering the "why" behind the "what".
Change and Growth
Together, we identify the tools and resilience already within you, fostering a path towards lasting emotional clarity, empowerment, and wholeness.
Recovering After Religious Trauma
Cult recovery and recovery after religious trauma or spiritual abuse and high-control religious environments is a deeply personal and nuanced journey. I provide expertise and trauma informed therapy together with a compassionate, and safe space where we can work together to deconstruct these experiences, reclaim your personal autonomy, and find a path forward that feels uniquely yours.
My trauma-informed approach gives you a safe, non-judgemental space to:
• Understand how coercive control has affected you
• Unlearn harmful messages or beliefs
• Rebuild confidence, trust in yourself, and a sense of identity
I provide a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental space where we can work together to deconstruct these experiences, reclaim your personal autonomy, and find a path forward that feels uniquely yours.
Introductory Call

How it works Starting therapy can feel like a big step, It's important to me that you have an opportunity to share your reasons for coming to therapy and find out whether I'm a good fit for you. After you get in touch, we’ll arrange a free 30 minutes consultation video or telephone call. This is a space where you can: - Share what’s bringing you to therapy - Ask any questions you may have - Get a sense of how I work If it feels like the right fit, we can then book your first therapy session.

Initial Session
£80
Our initial meeting is 60 minutes, giving us space to explore what brought you to counselling. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable.
What is an initial session? Your initial therapy session (60min) is an opportunity for both of us to explore whether working together feels right. During this session, we will: - Talk in more depth about what has brought you to seek counselling, your experiences, past and present, and needs - Begin to understand your goals for therapy - Explore how I can best support you At the end of the first session, we can agree to work together, or you may choose to think things over in your own time. Based on your decision, we can agree on a regular weekly time, creating a consistent and supportive space for your therapy journey.
I believe in transparency and finding a way to make therapy accessible. Our first conversation is always free, so we can ensure we are the right fit for each other.
How it works
Individual Therapy
£70
Face-to-face sessions in North London Haringey or online UK wide. Each session lasts 50 minutes.
How it works This is where the deeper therapeutic work unfolds. I see therapy as a collaborative and evolving process, not a straight line. Together, we’ll move through different stages, sometimes revisiting earlier themes as needed. This is a natural and important part of meaningful change. I work with clients both on short term and long-term basis, allowing time to: - Build trust and safety - Explore patterns and challenges - Create lasting change Weekly therapy (50min) offers the greatest consistency and momentum. Meeting regularly helps to: - Maintain focus - Deepen the therapeutic relationship - Support steady and meaningful progress
A little about me
Over the years I've become less interested in asking "What's wrong with someone?" and more interested in understanding how they came to relate to themselves in the way they do.

I’m Mattia, a BACP-registered psychotherapeutic counsellor offering face-to-face therapy in North London Haringey and online across the UK. I support adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and religious or spiritual harm.
I offer sessions in both English and Italian, so you can express yourself in the way that feels most natural to you.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for support, because I’ve been there too. My training together with my own experiences with therapy and recovery shape the way I work: with care, honesty, and compassion. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and able to explore whatever you’re carrying.
Why work with me
Therapy with me is about moving at your pace, reconnecting with yourself, and finding a way forward that feels right for you.

A THOUGHT from MY Practice
“Therapy is not about erasing your past, but about learning to sit with it gently, so it no longer decides who you are becoming.”
