ROMINA SCARAMAGLI - PSYCHOTHERAPIST
ABOUT ME
I am an Accredited CBT and EMDR psychotherapist providing a professional, compassionate and confidential psychotherapy service to adults. I offer evidence based and effective psychological therapies that are recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
I am based in Cornwall and offer secure online video therapy sessions using Zoom to clients throughout the UK. Myself and many other therapists have found online sessions to be as effective as face to face. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for you to ask me any questions, discuss your needs and help us decide if I might be an appropriate therapist for you to book an assessment with. Please contact me to arrange this.
