About

I’m Anna Maria Tino, a Clinical Psychologist with over 27 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals recover from trauma, domestic violence, and eating disorders. I am proud to be a founding member of the British Psychological Society (BPS 40541) and am registered with the Order of Psychologists Piemonte(No. 2549).

My specialization in domestic violence, trauma, and intra-familial abuse informs my approach, which is rooted in evidence-based, trauma-informed care. Additionally, I am a certified mindfulness facilitator, allowing me to incorporate mindfulness practices into my therapeutic interventions
