About
Lavinia Salani is an HCPC-registered counselling psychologist who joined Priory Hospital Hayes Grove in May 2022. She has extensive clinical experience across a range of mental health settings, including specialist units, multidisciplinary teams, and the NHS.
Lavinia works with adults experiencing a wide range of psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and more complex mental health presentations. Her practice draws on psychodynamic principles and integrates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), allowing her to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs.
She provides therapy in both English and Italian and offers a warm, collaborative, and reflective space where individuals can explore their experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and work towards meaningful change.
Training
Lavinia undertook most of her practical training at the University polyclinic “A. Gemelli” in Rome where she was exposed to a vast range of mental health conditions in adults as well as in adolescents.
During her hospital placement, she received training on different psychotherapy models and a strong psychodynamic foundation which she further developed during her postgraduate studies.
