Italian Therapists in Lugano

Have overwhelming events of the past marked your relationships with yourself and the world? Does your present life context trigger difficult emotional reactions, interpersonal or professional challenges? Do you suffer from lingering mental health issues and want to improve your wellbeing? Therapy can provide a safe transformational opportunity to explore and heal what is difficult in your life. My role is to offer you a confidential and non-judgmental space for understanding, processing and learning how to manage unresolved, often conflicting feelings, thoughts and actions which impact quality of your life and relationships.

Together we explore in complex or/and challenging life and work situations your personal strenghts and ressources. I work with empathy, kindness, social intelligence and on *eye level*, respectful and humorous (if it fits).

We experience difficulties in different ways. Often people seek therapy when they have been feeling feeling more anxious, stressed or frustrated more than usual, sometimes indicating a life transition such as relationship problems or difficulties at work. At other times clients get in touch when they noticed that something does not feel good but are still unsure of the reasons that may lie beneath and are keen to develop insight. We will build a shared understanding of current difficulties, and together will identify your hopes, goals and needsI draw from psychological evidence-based approaches to inform your unique treatment plan.

I offer you the opportunity to retreat alone or with your partner to the Engadine/Scuol area, where you can enjoy private walk and talk therapy sessions amidst the beauty of nature. This unique approach to therapy promotes an open and dynamic atmosphere, and being outdoors can help alleviate the intensity of face-to-face conversations, making you feel more relaxed and at ease. The retreats are designed to help you find commitment and momentum, which are two important factors for successful counseling. It also provides a break from your everyday life, so you can focus on your own self-care and well-being.

As a Professional Counsellor, I support my clients in facing and overcoming moments of difficulty, bewilderment, confusion, transition or crisis. I provide a space for listening to facilitate self exploration, self awareness, choice and change in the areas of personal and relational well-being.

Happier life. Better relationships. Satisfying career. What are you looking for? ” We can’t solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them” – Albert Einstein. Psychology is so much more than just the “study of the mind.” We aim to reduce distress and to enhance and promote psychological well-being and to help you cope with various life stressors.

I help people restore the connection between their mind, body, and heart through revealing journeys into the subconscious to heal what is hidden away. To live this one life on earth with ease, as the person you truly are, and with a heart-filling sense of purpose and wholeness. I provide a compassionate and safe space for inner exploration and healing.
