Welcome to my profile.
I was born in Rome and moved to live in London in my mid twenties. I am therefore bilingual and I offer counselling and psychotherapy in English and Italian.
I am a Humanistic psychotherapist and counsellor and believe that each person I work with is unique and individual. My approach is therefore flexible and sensitive to the personal biography of each client.
Psychotherapy and Counselling in English and Italian with Roberta Musillo MBACP (Registered)
I am committed to respecting and supporting each individual on a journey of personal growth and personal development. I believe that we are all able to form new behaviour patterns and transform existing ones. I love how therapy can open conversations, bring clarity and offer an opportunity to a deeper, more authentic sense of self. My work as a humanistic psychotherapist is experiential, psycho-educational as well as theoretical. I am very interested in supporting clients experience the gentle, yet profound, shifts of awareness and thrive in the slow processes of growth and development. I bring kindness, integrity and many years of professional and personal experience to my work. I offer clients the opportunity to be curious about who they are, who they want to be and what meaning they want to bring to their lives. I believe that we can transform and choose to be who we want to be. I am passionate about enabling people to live a rich, fulfilling and joyous life. I am also an integrative therapist in that I draw from a range of psychotherapeutic theories and techniques, Gestalt therapy and Formative Psychology being my preferred ones.
The warmth, wisdom and commitment I bring to my work is informed and enriched by my experience as a mother and as a partner in a long-term relationship. Having witnessed my children thrive in the context of a loving family, I am a passionate believer in the values of marriage and family.
As a spirited seeker of personal truth and inner beauty, I am passionate about honouring and supporting the artist in each of us.
