Ms Cinzia Taffagli

About Cinzia

I provide Family and Systemic Therapy, working with individuals, couples, families and organisations. I also draw from Psychological Theories such as Social Learning Theory, Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy. I also EMDR qualified.

I provide therapy in both English and Italian.

I draw from a diverse range of skills and clinical expertise developed in 30 years to ensure therapy is tailored to clients' needs and that it becomes a valuable experience for the clients - with any presenting difficulties and diagnosis.

The Family and Systemic approach I use is known for taking into account the influences of the 'context' a person lives in, which means that I believe that our lives, beliefs, behavioural scripts are influenced by the wider social, community and family networks. I therefore support clients in developing their ability to think about how their own age, gender, race, culture, sexuality, education, class and other social differences impact on their life opportunities and positions them in relationships with relatives, friends, partner, work colleagues and in the wider society.

I work with people's strengths and personal resources, focusing on the solutions rather than the problems. It helps people in relationship to have a different kind of conversation, exploring difficult thoughts and situation in a safe way, enabling a different understanding of others’ experience and views. I attempt to allow silenced voices to be heard in such a way clients feel empowered even in daunting situations; feel hopeful for the future; feel contained and able to make wise choices.

I am also able to provide supervision to systemic clinicians in training or fully qualified, but also to other professions, as well as organisation consultation. I have years of experience in designing and delivering systemic trainings. I am currently teaching at the Tavistock at Master level, as well as systemic seminars to Clinical Psychologist Trainees at UCL.
