Cristina Codognato

About Me

I am a certified psychoanalytic psychotherapist accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). My extensive experience encompasses addressing various emotional challenges, including depression and anxiety. My therapeutic approach is pluralistic, allowing me to integrate various theories and psychoanalytic perspectives throughout the therapy process. I undertook extensive studies at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, focusing on parenting issues and providing support to mothers and new-borns. I offer both short and long-term support, tailored to individual needs, available in both face-to-face and online formats. Upholding confidentiality is paramount while ensuring the safety and well-being of my patients.

My practice centers on providing a compassionate, secure, and non-judgmental space to assist patients in managing their psychological challenges. I guide them in understanding and navigating the issues that prompted them to seek therapy through a gentle exploration of their history, memories, and emotions. By delving into my patients' backgrounds and experiences, I aim to shed light on the root causes of their behavior and relational dynamics. This deeper understanding can aid in alleviating their suffering and empowering them to make informed choices, departing from old familiar patterns and defences. I firmly believe in fostering a collaborative and trusting relationship with my patients, as it significantly influences the success of the treatment. Collaborative engagement involves jointly addressing the patient's concerns, and employing tailored therapeutic techniques to meet their unique needs.

While I have expertise in addressing a broad spectrum of issues, there are specific areas that pique my interest and where I possess additional experience. This includes working with young adults, aiding in their transition to adulthood. Additionally, I have a focus on supporting mothers and newborns, as well as addressing parenting challenges. My passion for the visual arts, stemming from my initial degree, fuels my interest in exploring the relationship between art, existence, the creative process, and our emotional well-being.
