About Me

I am Rita Bonfà, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with almost 15 years of experience supporting expats worldwide. In Italian, English, or Spanish, I help you navigate the unique challenges of living abroad. Our sessions blend cognitive behavioural therapy with practical mindfulness exercises for stability. This integrated approach helps make sense of new experiences and supports your well-being wherever you call home.

Approach

When you’re juggling life between cultures, sessions focus on small, practical shifts that travel with you. In Amsterdam or online, in English, Italian or Spanish, I keep meetings structured, paced to fit busy schedules and sensitive to cultural rhythms. We use short experiments, thought records and brief grounding practices during and between sessions to uncover patterns and gently reshape behaviours that cause friction in adaptation. This way of working tends to suit adults looking for clear, usable tools to feel steadier and act with more choice.
