Le nostre radici italiane
Founded by an Italian psychologist
Mind a Porter was founded by Dr Martina Paglia, an Italian clinical psychologist who first built her practice in London as The Italian Psychology Clinic, a service created specifically for the Italian-speaking community. Mind a Porter is the evolution of that original clinic, now connecting clients with over 100 therapists across many languages while keeping Italian care at its foundation.
This heritage means Italian-speaking clients are not an afterthought on the platform — they are part of its founding story. Dr Paglia designed the matching questionnaire and clinical standards with the cultural and emotional nuances of Italian clients in mind, so that expats, bicultural families, and professionals can find a therapist who understands both where they come from and where they are now.

“Ho costruito Mind a Porter partendo dalla comunità italiana di Londra. Capire la tua lingua e la tua cultura non è un dettaglio — è il punto di partenza.”
