Areas of Expertise
Gestalt Therapy, Student Psychology, & Postnatal Support.
When I have decided to study psychology, the main reason for my choice was a general feeling of attraction and fascination with regard to this discipline. At first, I was more interested in the psychobiological and cognitive aspects characterizing the human being but, after graduation in 2010 at the University of Padova (Italy), I felt the necessity to deepen my knowledge about the relational and interpersonal facets of psychology. With this goal, from 2011 to 2015 I have attended a four-years psychotherapy training school in Rome (Italy), where I have learned Gestalt therapy principles.
My curiosity for cognitive psychology was not vanished though, and this led me to complete a doctorate in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of L'Aquila (Italy, 2011-2014), and to work as a post-doctoral fellow in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Padova (Italy) from 2015 to 2017. In Padova, I also had the opportunity to work as psychologist for the university students. Currently, I am working in Academia as a part-time lecturer at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences of Leiden University (Netherlands).
Recently, I have focused on a very delicate but extremely powerful period of human life: the postnatal time. In 2017 I have attended in the Netherlands a theoretical and practical training with the Postnatal Support Network, and I am now a certified postnatal supporter, commonly called doula. Being a doula gives the possibility to actively feed the mutual bonding relationship between mother and child, and within the whole family too, which I think is an inestimable opportunity from where to start helping others.
