Raffaella Hilty

Raffaella Hilty is a Jungian analyst, attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor in private practice in North London. She holds a Master of Arts in Philosophy and is a registered professional member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and the International Association of Analytical Psychology (IAAP). Her clinical trajectory spans work within the National Health Service, the voluntary sector, and long-standing private practice.

Hilty's clinical orientation integrates the Jungian analytic tradition with contemporary attachment theory and psychoanalytic thought, enabling her to address a broad spectrum of presenting concerns including depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, sexuality, body image and identity issues, self-harming, eating disorders, personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, career difficulties, midlife crisis, loss and bereavement, and struggles with purpose and meaning.

A published scholar, Hilty has contributed to the British Journal of Psychotherapy, the International Journal of Forensic Psychotherapy, and the Journal of Attachment: New Directions in Psychotherapy and Relational Psychoanalysis. She is the editor of Primitive Bodily Communications in Psychotherapy: Embodied Expressions of a Disembodied Psyche, published by Karnac Books in 2022, a work that examines the intersection of somatic experience and depth-psychological processes in the therapeutic encounter.
