   I started working with Giovanna during a very challenging time in my life, both professionally and personally. Starting therapy is never easy, but we immediately had a great connection. She has a wonderful ability to make you feel comfortable and open up naturally, without any pressure. She helped me understand myself better and clarify what I want and don’t want in life. Giovanna supported me through my breakup and a difficult period, helping me gain perspective and work on myself. I highly recommend her, especially if you’re at a crossroads, struggling at work or in your personal life, or simply need someone who listens without judgment. My life is much better now thanks to her, and I will definitely continue working with her. Thank you, Gio.

   Finding Giovanna is the second best thing that happened to me! (First being my dog Enzo) Jokes aside, Giovanna has helped me more than I could imagine, I had a huge issue opening up initially and discussing my problems, but Giovanna has a way to make you feel like you can say anything that you are struggling with, and her way of explaining things, where you understand your issue makes it so much easier to resolve. Most of things that are not OK with us are in our head, and I would encourage anyone to just give it a go and start a conversation, my life had changed and it will change further, thanks to Giovanna, her guidance and approach it will be a forever evolving self improvement process. Don't delay till it's too late, just talk...

   Gio is one of the few counselors I have tried over the years - that can keep not falling asleep through my nonsense - actually opposite, she catches me up and is stimulating me with questions that helps me to integrate my inner archetypal wars. I have had regular sessions last 6 months and I feel I have definitely resolved my issues with her help. We talked about trauma, sex, death, fears, work, relationships, future and many more. After each session, I feel some progress/change within me. She isn't interested in keeping you as a client, but rather helping you to resolve your issues. She works from home and her therapy room is very pleasant, new couch, many plants, nice light and view. She is European background which I welcome, as she prefers openness and is direct but still pleasant and respects my boundaries when I am not willing to talk about something. She is very funny and she actually loves the job, wanting to help you, not innit for money only. She is genuine caring therapist, do yourself a favor and book some sessions soon with her!

   Finding the right counsellor makes all the difference. I went to see Giovanna when I felt I was no longer able to cope and everything in my life was going wrong…. I cannot recommend Giovanna enough. I feel in control, grounded and confident… capable of moving forward in my life. My sessions with her have not only helped me gain an understanding of my habits and patterns but also given me the tools to break the bad habits and understand what is important.

   Giovanna found the key to a peaceful night’s sleep for me…something that had been missing for years. She provided me with helpful strategies to use when sleep eludes me. The visualisation which places me on my favourite tropical beach always sends me back to sleep…and I’m sure with a smile on my face. I can’t thank Giovanna enough.

   I saw Giovanna for several sessions last year 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 would highly recommend Giovanna.

   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!
