Oriana Scalzulli
Counselling & Psychotherapy
Welcome
You might be here because you are experiencing emotional difficulties, struggling with stress or relationships.
You might be feeling like your life doesn’t correspond to you anymore and you’re not sure where to start to make changes.
Or you might be trying to find your own voice, or to navigate major life transitions.
Whatever the reason bringing you here, I imagine you are wondering whether therapy could help you.
To find an answer to this question, I invite you to read further and, if you wish, to book a first consultation – I will be happy to discuss how I can help you.
About me
My name is Oriana (she/her/hers) and I am a fully qualified, UKCP-accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.
I offer individual therapy sessions, in person and online, to adult clients aged 18 and over.
My practice is based in Clapham Junction, Battersea, and is easily accessible from Wandsworth, Clapham, Balham, Chelsea and other areas of South West London.
I am an accredited member of the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and adhere to the UKCP Code of Ethics and Professional Practice and to Metanoia Institute’s Code of Ethics and Conduct.
My experience includes providing open-ended psychotherapy in private practice, counselling in an NHS setting, and therapeutic support to clients in corporate settings.
I am experienced in adapting my approach to both time-limited therapeutic work, focused on specific goals within an agreed timeframe, and open-ended therapy, allowing space for a more exploratory and in-depth process.
I have supported clients through a wide range of experiences and challenges, including trauma, bereavement and loss, anxiety, experiences of abuse, stress, relationship difficulties and life transitions. I have also worked with people exploring and making sense of their experiences of neurodivergence.
My approach
I offer a warm, supportive and confidential space where you can feel heard, explore what brings you to therapy, and begin to make sense of your experiences at your own pace.
In my work, I adopt a Gestalt approach, grounded in a holistic view of the human being, recognising the interconnectedness of mind, body and environment. This informs my approach to therapy: embodied, relational and culturally sensitive.
You will have the opportunity to creatively explore the themes you wish to bring into therapy, with a focus on deepening your awareness. In fact, I believe that awareness of our current way of being in the world is key to living more fully and to making the changes we wish to make.
I have a particular interest in existential themes, and in the challenges and opportunities offered by the experience of difference and disconnection.
I work collaboratively with you to support you identifying your resources and developing new ones.
My background
My background in Social Anthropology has shaped my longstanding interest in how social and cultural contexts influence our lives and how we make sense of our experiences.
My exploration of how we create meaning, both individually and collectively, informs my therapeutic work, where I offer a space to explore your own sources of meaning and reflect on the values that shape your life.
I have a personal lived experience of intercultural dynamics, with their potential for both disruption and growth.
As a long-term mindfulness meditation practitioner, I integrate a non-judgemental and open observation of what is happening in the here-and-now into my therapeutic practice.
