Counselling and
Psychotherapy

with Lavinia Romano

About me

Perhaps you’re experiencing difficulties in past relationships. Maybe you lack confidence in social situations or generally finding it hard to cope with low self-esteem. Perhaps you are experiencing work related stress or generalised anxiety, depression or panic attacks. It might be that you simply found yourself stuck in life and can’t find the way forward. Sometimes stressful life events can be so emotionally overwhelming, that we no longer wish to cope alone.

For 18 years I worked in the field of human rights and social justice before deciding to pursue my lifelong curiosity in psychology, moving into the world of self-development and counselling.

I work integratively, drawing on various models and backgrounds, depending on the needs of my clients. I believe that knowledge and understanding of ourselves and of the world comes from our lived experience. For this reason, understanding your personal life experience will inform and lead our sessions.

My Approach

My work is based on self-reflection, compassion and understanding, and gives the client the breathing space to explore their thoughts and feelings. Some of the therapeutic methods I use include TA (Transactional Analysis) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Mindfulness.

As a therapist, my aim is to harness the natural tendency towards change, growth and the fulfilment of potential.

I seek to build a relaxing and non-judgmental relationship with clients, resulting in greater self-understanding, changes in behaviour, new ways of coping and improved wellbeing.
