Meet Our Therapists
Tumee Hugginson
Clinical Director
Languages: English, Japanese
Tumee Hugginson is the founder and Clinical Director of BeyondBleu. She holds an MA in Clinical Psychology from the United States and has over a decade of clinical experience in couples therapy, depth psychology, and cross-cultural therapeutic work, shaped by years of practice in Japan and internationally.
As Clinical Director, Tumee leads the clinical vision of the practice — setting the standard of care, curating the team, and overseeing the depth and integrity of the work offered across BeyondBleu.
Tumee is trained to Gottman method couples therapy — the highest level of the world’s most rigorously researched couples therapy methodology — and integrates this with attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and depth-psychological understanding. Her work with couples is particularly attuned to betrayal and trust repair, intercultural and international relationships, emotional rupture and repair, and couples requiring intensive concentrated work.
Tumee currently sees a limited number of couples directly, available by arrangement. If you are enquiring about couples therapy and wish to work with Tumee, please contact her directly rather than booking online.

Languages: English, Italian
Dr. Lorenzo Geirola is a clinical neuropsychologist and psychotherapist who brings together scientific precision and genuine human warmth. Trained at the University of Trento and specialised in Clinical Neuropsychology at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, he offers a rigorous yet deeply personalised approach.
Dr. Geirola works with individuals across a broad clinical scope — including anxiety and mood disorders, OCD, ADHD, cognitive and neuropsychological concerns, and psychotherapy more broadly. His work integrates cognitive-behavioural therapy with mindfulness-based approaches, supporting emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, and resilience.
As a specialist in neurocognitive assessment, Dr. Geirola offers comprehensive evaluation for ADHD, autism spectrum, IQ and cognitive profiling, and neuropsychological functioning — with clear, actionable written reports.

Actively engaged in research on neuroplasticity and neuromodulation, Dr. Geirola brings scientific rigour to deeply human questions.
Best suited for: individuals seeking individual therapy, diagnostic clarity around attention or cognition, or neurocognitive assessment in English.

Vision
At Beyond Bleu, our vision is to make therapy a space where emotional depth meets everyday life — where people can rediscover steadiness, curiosity, and compassion within themselves. We believe emotional growth should feel safe, not overwhelming, and that even quiet insight can change how we live and relate to others.
Mission
Our mission is to offer thoughtful, evidence-informed psychotherapy that supports long-term emotional transformation. Every session is guided by respect for your pace and individuality. We aim to help clients untangle old patterns, build resilience, and reconnect with their own sense of possibility — one conversation at a time.

You’ve already taken the most meaningful step by being here. Together, we can uncover what’s been holding you back and create new ways of feeling steady, connected, and alive.
Our work is about more than coping — it’s about rediscovering your own rhythm, your calm, and your strength.
