Psychotherapy in English

Moving to another country changes more than an address. Work, relationships, family life and health all take on a different shape, and the resources that usually help can feel further away; the language, familiar places, people who know you. In these moments, being able to speak with a psychologist in your own language makes a real difference.

I am a clinical psychologist and Gestalt psychotherapist, Maltese, and English is my mother tongue. I have lived and worked in Milan since 2001. I am an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Milan, I direct the clinical psychology service of an IRCCS research hospital in the city, and I have been seeing patients at Studio Metafora for many years.

I work with adults and couples, in English or in Italian, on the difficulties that most often accompany an international life; anxiety and low mood, stress and burnout at work, life changes and losses, relationship difficulties, and the psychological impact of illness and medical treatment. I am also certified in EMDR, a structured method for elaborating traumatic experiences. However, there is no need to arrive with your problem already defined. The first sessions serve precisely to understand together what is happening, and whether therapy is the right kind of help.

Sessions last 50 minutes and take place at the studio in Via Mercadante 8, a short walk from Milano Centrale, or online. The fee for an individual session is €150. An invoice is issued for every session; if you hold international health insurance, it can usually be submitted for reimbursement, where your policy covers psychotherapy.

To arrange a first appointment, or simply to ask a question, write to segreteria@studio-metafora.it mentioning “therapy in English”, or call 02 29522329.
