Giuseppe Manca

As a registered BACP member, I adhere to their code of ethics. Before training as a psychotherapist, I completed a Master of Science in Psychology at Birkbeck and spent several years as an academic lecturer.

Previously, I offered low-cost support to people dealing with a range of issues such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and compulsions.

I have also supported individuals with various forms of neurodivergence as they navigated this part of their identity. In my private practice, I offer psychodynamic therapy and counselling, grounded in psychoanalytic theory.

Although I mainly work psychodynamically, I can also offer specific trauma therapy when required (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).

EMDR is an effective, evidence-based approach to easing the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD), anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and eating disorders.

EMDR can be done as a specific trauma intervention to address major symptoms before an open-ended talking therapy begins, or as a shorter-term type of therapy; this will be determined together with you, based on your preference, but also your needs.
