Individual
psychological support
A space to explore emotions, stress, insecurity and life transitions. Together we can understand what feels difficult and identify personal resources, wishes and choices.

To reconnect.
Sometimes what you feel needs time, words and a relationship in which it can be welcomed.
I support you in exploring what you are experiencing, understanding your needs and discovering new possibilities in your relationship with yourself and others.

You do not need
all the words yet.
You may want someone to talk to during a time of change, when a relationship feels difficult, or when you notice yourself repeating patterns that no longer feel helpful.
Psychological support offers a space to make sense of your experience. We begin with your concerns, your story and what matters to you, and agree on the aims of our work together.
The support described here is intended for adults.

Individual
Relationships
and self-understanding
Explore how you experience connections, the expectations you bring to relationships and what happens when you feel distant, disappointed or unseen. We begin with your individual experience and the meaning you give to your encounters with others.
Awareness
and relaxation
Learn to notice tension and bodily signals, and explore attention, breathing and relaxation practices. Tools are introduced gradually, with attention to how you feel.
Body, sexuality
and relationships
My completed postgraduate training in Clinical Sexology has deepened my understanding of experiences involving the body, sexuality and relationships. These themes can be explored in psychological consultations at your own pace and in response to your concerns.

Arianna Magelli is undertaking psychotherapy training at NOUS, with a mindfulness-oriented cognitive constructivist relational approach.
The constructivist perspective explores how each person gives meaning to their experiences. The same event can be experienced in different ways: understanding its personal significance can help us better understand how we relate to the world.
A relational focus makes room for what happens between people, for emotions and for exploring new perspectives together. This perspective informs her ongoing training and her way of listening.
Arianna Magelli is a psychologist and a psychotherapist in training. The service offered here is psychological support.
Understanding constructivism: George A. Kelly
George A. Kelly’s personal construct theory considers how people interpret experience through personal meanings. His work is a historical reference for approaching the constructivist perspective.

Jon Kabat-Zinn and mindfulness
Jon Kabat-Zinn developed Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in 1979, helping bring mindfulness into healthcare settings. His work is a reference for exploring present-moment awareness.

How it works
One step at a time.
We get to know each other.
I listen to what brought you to seek support, your expectations and the questions you would like to explore.
We agree on a way forward.
We discuss goals, frequency and format. Before we begin, I share information about fees, confidentiality and informed consent.
We reflect together.
We return to what emerges and how you are experiencing the sessions, to decide together how to continue.
Do I need to know what to talk about?
No. We can begin with a feeling that is hard to describe. The first meeting makes room for your concerns without expecting you to have everything clear in advance.
How long does support last?
There is no fixed number of sessions for everyone. Duration and frequency are agreed around your needs and reviewed as we go.
Can consultations take place online?
Yes. We can discuss this option when we first make contact. A private setting and a reliable connection are important.
Do I have to do breathing or movement exercises?
No. Body-based practices are an option, offered only when relevant, agreed together and suitable for you. Conversation remains central.
What are your professional qualifications?
I am a psychologist registered in Lombardy, no. 29231, and a psychotherapist in training at NOUS. I have completed postgraduate training in Clinical Sexology. The support offered here is not presented as psychotherapy.
