Mrs Anna Pavia

Psychotherapist

Verified

I am a passionate and kind psychotherapist and counselor, I have been training very hard and still am to be able to offer several points of view on problems. I can assure you that if you are determined to change and feel better, we can work together, and you might be surprised to discover your own resources and possibilities. I believe that each person has the power to make positive changes in their life.

About Me

I have completed many specific training courses and I am cooperating in a residential centre for eating disorders. I have been trained to use spiritual counseling, integrated counseling, in particular counseling for religious people, expert in narcissist abuse and I have attended a specific course for eating disorders, addictions (in particular sex and love addiction and drug addiction), hypnosis, gestalt therapy, transactional analysis, cognitive emotional therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, NLP (I am a master practitioner), I am co-author of the book "psicologia della vita consacrata". I also use several relaxation techniques. I really hope we can get to know each other and that you can find a help in order to experience a better future. I speak English, Italian French and Spanish.

Approach

I approach therapy with kindness, depth, and determination, welcoming people at a moment when they may feel pain, confusion, or discomfort. I see these difficult emotions not as failures, but as open doors to transformation. My work is grounded in the belief that every person carries inner resources that can be rediscovered, strengthened, and used to build a healthier, more fulfilling life. My style is warm, compassionate, and deeply attentive. Clients often describe me as someone who listens with genuine care, asks meaningful questions, and helps them feel safe enough to explore their inner world. I aim to create a therapeutic relationship where people feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.
