THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PATH
The psychological support process begins with an initial meeting, followed by an initial phase of several sessions dedicated to defining goals and building a solid foundation from which to proceed.
The First Meeting and Initial Objectives
The sessions, which I conduct exclusively in Italian, can take place in person or, when not possible, online
The first meeting, in particular, represents a crucial step.
This moment is crucial to establish a connection and fully understand the nature of the problem,
For this reason, I reserve more time for the first meeting than for other appointments— about an hour and a half . This time allows us to get to know each other a little, understand the difficulties and needs you bring to therapy, and identify together the problem areas that will be explored in greater depth in subsequent sessions. Furthermore, during this phase, we will explore possible therapeutic options we could pursue.
Whenever possible, during the first meeting, practical tools (techniques) will be introduced to help address difficulties, providing concrete resources.
It is an opportunity to create a climate of trust and collaboration, essential for the success of therapeutic work.
The first meeting was unhurried and lasted about an hour and a half.

We will share the goals and possible paths
THE INITIAL PHASE a therapeutic path is usually divided into 3-5 meetings.
It usually consists of 3-5 meetings.
This time is dedicated to building an authentic connection and gathering the key information needed to better understand the person’s difficulties, concerns, and goals.
It is a phase of mutual exploration, where expectations and needs are discussed in depth, main goals are defined together, and the therapeutic work approach is outlined.
This moment helps lay a solid foundation for the therapeutic process and fosters a sense of trust, allowing for a focused and meaningful exploration of the issues brought to therapy.
In this phase, practical tools and useful strategies will be taught that the person can use independently at home, through exercises and techniques learned during the sessions
NB: The above applies to meetings with adults. Children and adolescents , however, require different methods that are adapted based on their age, context, and specific needs.
I am available in Padua and Molinella (BO), by appointment. Consultation and support are also available online.Only in Italian

The Therapeutic Alliance
The therapeutic alliance in adults has long been recognized as a fundamental component of successful psychological therapy.
It is a potentially unifying construct in a field where clinicians and researchers have historically been tied to particular approaches.
Over the years, researchers have defined the alliance in many ways, such as the therapeutic bond, therapeutic alliance, and working alliance. Each term has led to a slightly different definition.
