ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I am a psychologist (counselor), a neuropsychologist and a clinical psychotherapist. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Post-Rationalist Therapy, EMDR therapy and Mindfulness.
I strongly believe that in order to reach self-awareness and self-development we need to stop judging our feelings and actions and rather be curious about ourselves and people around us.
EXPERIENCE
I have an academic background, as a researcher and lecturer in cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. In my clinical practice, I am keen on using mostly evidence-based methods.
I have been an expat myself, and I have developed a special interest in expatriates' issues.
Dr. Raffaela Messina and I have opened INTERNATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY PRACTICE , that gathers highly qualified therapists who are fond of attachment theory. We offer all sorts of psychological services to Italians and to English-speaking expatriates in Milan area.
