Dr Monia Conforti

More personal information

I  have excellent knowledge and experience of  therapeutic approaches such as humanistic, psycho-dynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have been offering CBT therapy since 2012, then in 2018 trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

I grew up in Italy,  within an evangelical Catholic community dedicated to missionary work, and then moved to the UK in 2006. I love to experience various cultures, life viewpoints and faith traditions.

My life experiences, studies and practice have developed my commitment, empathy and perseverance. For example, I have  shared houses with other students from around the world, I am married with young children, I have worked in my professional capacity in prisons, for charities and in the private sector.  I enjoy spending my free time doing sport, art and outdoor activities like walking and gardening.

I have a passion for mental health prevention, not just cure,  for sustainable living/behaviours, for a renewed sacrality/respect of the body with healthy embodied self-identity including intimacy and sexuality, and for holistic wellbeing.
