Hello
I am Kathrin Gioia and have an absolute passion for improving people's well-being. As a dedicated Mental Health Occupational Therapist, with a special interest in treating people with Eating Disorders, I am dedicated to supporting clients on their journey so that they can get what they want out of life.
MY STORY
I graduated from Stellenbosch University in 2017 and thereafter gained valuable experience in diverse settings during my community service in northern Kwa-Zulu Natal. My interest in mental health grew, leading me to complete a post-graduate certificate in psychology at University College London (UCL) in 2020.
Working in a London-based eating-disorder unit for three years, I witnessed the transformative power of holistic care, guiding individuals towards recovery. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, I adapted to virtual therapy sessions, providing vital support and fostering resilience and hope on the path to recovery.
​
I now find myself based in beautiful South Africa and continue to use my skills, while continuing to grow and learn more in the field of mental health. I have just completed my yoga teacher training and am excited to explore the ever-growing link that yoga and mental health have.
​
I am honored to be affiliated with several institutions that actively promote health, safety, and well-being in both the UK and South Africa. Click on the links below to learn more about their important contributions in these areas.
