About me
Welcome. I’m Giulia.

- Women, partners and couples

- Preconception and fertility issues to the first years of parenthood
- Languages
- English, Italian
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked as a clinical midwife specialist within a multidisciplinary specialist perinatal mental health team. I also worked as a midwife across different areas of maternity care.
This experience has given me a strong understanding of pregnancy, birth and early parenthood – not only from a psychological perspective, but also from the physical, social and medical perspectives.
Having worked within the maternity system, I understand how it can feel to navigate appointments, professionals, birth experiences and the transition into parenthood, as well as how these experiences can affect parents emotionally.

- An unplanned or unwanted pregnancy
- Mixed or difficult feelings about becoming a parent
- Preparing for and adjusting to parenthood
