Mara Golemme

Hello/Ciao! My name is Mara, I am a fully qualified counsellor, providing online therapy in English or Italian to adults.

My Approach 

I believe in the potential within each of us, and I see self-recognition and self-awareness as powerful tools for healing, understanding, and managing personal experiences. Therapy can be a key tool to achieve a positive relationship with yourself and, by extension, with others.

I am aware that starting therapy can be daunting, and it takes courage to open up and share deep feelings and concerns. I am committed to listening to you with warmth and without judgement, helping you gain insight into who you are, your desires, and your needs, so you can find a better path forward and navigate life's ups and downs.

As a humanistic integrative therapist, I combine various therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Transactional analysis (TA), etc. to help you achieve your goals. I specialised in providing support in the following areas: anxiety, chronic conditions (i.e.  Dementia) and syndromes (i.e. Autism), trauma and loss, relationships, pregnancy, prenatal and postnatal counselling. 

Training & Qualifications

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Therapy (CPPD), Certificate in Couple Counselling and Psychotherapy (Tavistock Relationship) and PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience (Goldsmiths University).  

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Infertility Counselling Association (BICA). 

In addition to my counselling training, I have a background in cognitive neurosciences and over 10 years of experience as a clinical researcher and manager, specialising in neurodegenerative diseases. 

My background in cognitive neurosciences allows me to consider how neural processes influence our feelings, behaviours, and reactions. Moreover, my clinical experience (with patients with neurodegenerative diseases) has provided me with a profound understanding of as well as the challenges faced by those dealing with chronic conditions, whether as patients or caregivers.
