Every story has a thread. We can look for it together.
Psychological support for adults and adolescents, in Padova and online, in English and Italian.
A space to untangle things, calmly
Sometimes things get tangled: anxiety that won't go away, a relationship that hurts, a change that throws you off balance. At times like these it can help to have a dedicated space where you can pause and make sense of what you are going through.
I work with a constructivist-narrative approach: rather than fitting you into a category, I try to understand with you how you are reading your experience and which new possibilities might open up.
Do these words sound familiar?
For months I've been waking up already tired, and I don't even really know why.
AdultsNobody seems to really get how I feel.
AdolescentsMy son has changed, and I don't know how to reach him anymore.
Parents of teenagersWe keep fighting about the same things, and we can't talk anymore.
CouplesI've postponed that exam three times. Every time I open the book, I freeze.
University studentsI started from scratch here, and sometimes I feel really alone.
People living far from homeI'd like a place where I don't have to explain who I am every time.

These are example sentences I wrote myself: they are not quotes from clients, but they echo what people often say in a first session.
Who I work withSome of the situations people most often contact me about.
- 01

Low mood and difficult times
Sadness, loss of interest, a sense of emptiness or distress, including after having a baby.
- 03
Relationships, couples and emotional dependency
Conflict, relationship crises, bonds that hurt, the struggle of being with others.
- 04
Self-esteem and self-image
Feeling inadequate, judging yourself harshly, not recognising your own worth.

A welcoming, non-judgemental space to explore orientation, identity and experiences related to sexuality.
