Clinical psychology, Jungian psychoanalysis
As a clinical psychologist specializing in Jungian psychoanalysis, I offer individual consultations for adults in English or Italian. I provide both short-term psychological support and long-term analysis, depending on the patient’s needs and possibilities. I work with patients facing a variety of difficulties, including depression, anxiety, burnout, relational conflicts, identity issues, loneliness, anger, addiction, lack of purpose, life crises, existential questions, or spiritual struggles. I am especially committed to supporting patients in the expat community who are facing the challenges of adjusting to life in a new country or the emotional impact of being away from home
Swiss psychiatrist C. G. Jung believed that mental suffering often signals a deeper, unexpressed desire for growth. The psyche has a natural need to evolve and expand, but it can become stifled by external and internal constraints. These limitations can push us in negative directions, much like a plant that bends awkwardly when it encounters a barrier, struggling to find its way around.
This simple but powerful insight—that our suffering is a wake-up call for unrealized growth—can transform the way we relate to ourselves in times of distress. Rather than judging ourselves for feeling anxious or depressed, we can approach these feelings with curiosity. What are they urging us to bring forth in ourselves? Jung, for instance, likened depression to “a woman in black.” If she turns up, he advised, “don’t shoo her away. Invite her in, offer her a seat, and listen to what she has to say.”
Cancellation Policy
Changes regarding appointments must be made at least 48 hours (2 full working days) in advance, through Niccolò or the secretary. This allows us to use the spot for other patients who may require urgent care. If this delay is not respected, the full cost of the consultation will be charged for the late cancellation or missed consultation.
