Hi,
I’m Stefania. I am an accredited member of the Irish Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (IACP). I hold a Diploma and an Honours Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from IICP College, and I offer both online and in-person psychotherapy sessions in Dublin.
I am currently completing a Master’s Degree (Level 9) in Gestalt Psychotherapy, further deepening my clinical training in relational, experiential, and process-oriented work.
I work from a trauma-informed, integrative perspective, with a particular focus on the mind–body connection and somatic awareness. My clinical approach supports clients in understanding patterns, regulating the nervous system, and processing emotional and psychological distress in a safe and structured way.
Alongside my psychotherapy training, I bring an extensive background in Yoga and embodied practices. I am a certified Yoga teacher with training in Hatha, Yin, Pregnancy, Hot, and Mandala Yoga. I am also qualified as a Life Coach and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Practitioner.
My academic background includes socio-humanistic studies, with a focus on philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy, which continues to inform my clinical thinking and therapeutic work.
I offer a grounded, professional, and confidential space where clients can explore their experience, develop self-awareness, and work toward meaningful psychological change.
get in touchMy story
I have long been drawn to the inner world, to understanding human experience, healing, and the deeper layers of being. My early curiosity for philosophy and personal growth naturally led me to Yoga, not only as a physical practice, but as a doorway into the intelligence of the body and its capacity to hold, express, and transform experience.
I am a qualified psychotherapist, and my work is grounded in a trauma-informed, somatic approach that recognises the inseparable connection between body and mind. I offer spaces where both can be explored together where thoughts, emotions, sensations, and patterns are gently brought into awareness and met with care.
Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I teach Yoga and facilitate workshops and group spaces in Ireland and internationally. I also work within the corporate sector as a wellness counsellor, delivering workshops that support nervous system regulation, stress management and embodied healing.
At the heart of my work is the understanding that the body holds our lived experiences, including stress, emotional wounds, and trauma. Through an integration of body-oriented psychotherapy and yoga-based practices, I support people in reconnecting with their inner resources, restoring a sense of safety within themselves, and allowing held experiences to be processed and integrated.
I see myself as an inner explorer, committed to ongoing learning, personal practice, and professional development. This continuous deepening allows me to hold space with presence, sensitivity, and respect, creating a supportive environment where healing can unfold at each person’s own pace.
My intention is to bridge Eastern and Western therapeutic approaches, offering a compassionate and grounded space where the body, mind, and emotional world can come back into relationship, fostering greater awareness, integration, and wholeness.

My approach
I believe that each individual holds an inner light, an inherent capacity for growth, resilience, and healing.
Life challenges, including trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, stress, illness, loss, and other mental health difficulties, can significantly impact how we relate to ourselves and others. At times, these experiences can be difficult to process or articulate. Psychotherapy offers a structured and supportive space to explore, understand, and work through this distress.
My work places particular emphasis on the body–mind relationship. Unprocessed experiences can be held somatically and may present as emotional, cognitive, or behavioural patterns such as self-sabotage or internal conflict. Developing awareness of bodily sensations, alongside thoughts, emotions, and present-moment experience is central to this process.
I approach therapy from a holistic perspective, recognising the interconnectedness of body, mind, and breath within the therapeutic process.
I work integratively, with a foundation in person-centred, Gestalt, and body-oriented psychotherapy. I also draw on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including Choice Theory, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Existential Therapy, Logotherapy, Multicultural Therapy, as well as mindfulness- and yoga-based practices, depending on the individual needs of each client.
