Surfing the waves of life

COUNSELING WITH PEOPLE

I guide people to accept, manage and stimulate change. In the East people use the same ideogram for "crisis" and "change" in every crisis situation there is a need for change.
I stimulate the transformation process in circumstances such as bereavement, illness, separation, layoffs, a loss of a job or loss of direction, chaos, sense of inadequacy or dissatisfaction. In any situation where change is needed. I also work with people who are feeling well but wish to improve certain aspects of their lives, private or professional.

COUNSELLING WITH THE FAMILY

I propose paths to manage conflicts between couples and regain balance; parental coaching to support the family in delicate phases. I welcome and support adolescents in their moments of school crisis and in choosing the path most suited to their desires according to their aptitudes.
I provide and teach useful communication models to be able to interact in a way that is functional to one′s purpose and not to let oneself be conditioned, by lowering on′s emotional tone, by what others tell us.

ACCOMPANIMENT TO SEPARATION

Where it is not possible to continue life as a couple, I assist in a conscious separation, through a path that includes both individual and couple sessions, to come to the realisation of a ritual that can end with a collective celebration together with relatives and friends, leaving no unsaid, and, thanking the partner, separating in a conscious and less traumatic way.

COUNSELLING IN SCHOOLS

I set up group workshops with specific topics starting from the delicate and "troubled" middle school, on which I have written a book: School Counselling: Aims and Objectives up to university. I teach students to listen to their emotions and express them in a gentle and peremptory manner. I organise listening counters for teenagers so that they have a neutral, non-judgmental space in which to talk, grow and in which they cultivate the habit of relying on a professional in case of difficulty. I help teenagers orient themselves according to their own aptitudes and expectations.

COUNSELLING FOR HEALTH

I have long experience with people in the accompaniment of their illness: from acceptance, including that of treatments, to pain management. I use guided visualisations to improve, art therapy to enter into dialogue with one′s body and transform emotions to help make sense of pain.
I help medical staff with burn-out and teach them how not to be overwhelmed by patients′ conditions and how to communicate empathically.

TRAINING FOR INSTITUTIONS AND GROUPS

I lead and set up group workshops depending on the topics to be addressed. I offer a neutral and safe space in which to release and manage emotions without feeling overwhelmed by them.
I am a trainer in both professional and personal spheres: I teach how to activate one′s own resources, to be aware of one′s strengths and welcome and love the parts of us with which we have not yet made peace.
I taught theories and techniques of communication and negotiation and intercultural communication at university. I offer paths to improve relations through more conscious communication, carefully choosing words, using the body, silences, voice and posture as well as the rhythm with which to communicate. Through theatre practice I have learnt to use the body as a communication tool and some other techniques learnt from my teachers and mentors.
