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.

Dr Martina Paglia

“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.”

Mrs Martina CrivelliPsychotherapist

PG Diploma5+ years of experience

I am an integrative psychotherapist offering therapy in both English and Italian, online and in person from my private practice in Richmond. I work with adults experiencing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, identity, grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, reflective, and relational. I believe therapy is not simply about symptom reduction, but about creating a safe and collaborative space where people can feel seen, understood, and supported in reconnecting with themselves and others. I aim to meet clients where they are, recognising that each person brings their own history, pace, and way of experiencing the world. I see the therapeutic relationship as something co-created together, grounded in trust, curiosity, authenticity, and human connection. Alongside talking therapy, I also offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in Richmond Park, where therapeutic exploration can unfold through presence, movement, and non-verbal communication. Whether someone comes to therapy during a time of crisis, transition, loss, or personal discovery, I hope to offer a calm and thoughtful space in which meaningful change and deeper understanding can emerge.
