Gaia Gambacciani

Gaia Gambacciani is a person-centred therapist.  Many of the clients she works with are navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, or the impact of past trauma. Others come to therapy during a life transition—moving countries, changing careers, ending or starting relationships, or returning to themselves after a difficult period. They often describe feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about who they are and what they want. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Before training as a therapist, Gaia worked in the City (London), so she knows how demanding city life can be, the pressure to perform, the constant striving, and how easy it is to lose balance along the way.  Her own experiences with disordered eating, low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression have shaped how she understands people. They have taught her what it’s like to feel stuck and how powerful it can be to be truly met with understanding. These experiences have given her the empathy for the many ways we cope and make sense of our lives. In her client work, she aims to offer a calm, grounded space where you can feel accepted and supported in your own process.

Gaia is a trainee psychotherapist completing an MSc in Contemporary Person-Centred Psychotherapy at the Metanoia Institute.  Gaia is from Italy and has lived in the UK for several years. That experience of adapting to a new culture and finding her sense of home here helps her understand what belonging, and not belonging, can feel like. Gaia has a real appreciation for difference, and welcomes working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
