My name is Marta.
I was born in Italy and lived in different countries throughout my life. I have been in Edinburgh for over ten years, where I have found home.
Experiencing different cultures, adapting to different ways of living, expanded my perspective and broadened my curiosity. I developed a great interest in people, wanting to understand what makes us different and the same, the origin of our suffering and behaviours, the way we are connected to each other and how distant we can feel from one another.
Acting was a big part of my life, allowing me to explore characters and experience their world, satisfying that curiosity for many years.
I eventually found myself reflecting on my life, my relationships and interactions with others, and realised I would find greater purpose in applying my interest and natural inclination - to connect and support - in the therapeutic work.
My training provided an essential framework of safety and understanding, as I experienced the struggles and excitements of welcoming a greater awareness, developing doubts, certainties, growth and love for the precious collaboration.
