Valerio Alessandri Counselling

I’m a professional counsellor and art counsellor specialising in relationships and personal change. I work with people to help them rediscover their authenticity, so they can navigate life’s challenges—whether that’s major transitions or relationship difficulties—with greater clarity and awareness.

I take a holistic approach, which means I see each person as a whole, giving value to their emotional, mental, physical, social, creative, environmental, and spiritual well-being.

In my work, I can help you take practical steps towards a life in which you can live with freedom, authenticity and harmony. I’ll support you in developing the tools and resources you need to experience deeper fulfilment—whether that’s in your relationships, your career, or your free time.

I believe that everyone has a unique potential within them, as well as the strength to create a life that feels meaningful and aligned with their needs, emotions, and natural inclinations. My role is to guide and support you on this journey of discovery and transformation, in a safe, empathetic, and non-judgemental space.

If you feel that now is the time to take care of yourself and embark on a journey of growth, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

I specialise in supporting people on their journey to rediscover their authenticity, helping them navigate changes in life and improve their relationships. Through the counselling journey with me, you can develop a deeper awareness of your strengths, needs, and emotions, learn to communicate more effectively, gain greater empowerment and coping strategies, and explore your untapped potential through self-awareness and creativity.

My counselling sessions can help you address the following areas:

• Relationships: Issues in relationships—whether romantic, friendships, family dynamics, or work-related.
• Managing Change: Navigating life transitions, such as significant changes like moving, starting a new job, separations, the end of a relationship or friendship, or retirement.
• Rediscovering Your Authenticity and Needs: Reconnecting with yourself to live life and relationships with greater authenticity.
• Stress Management: Work-life balance, time management, and techniques such as meditation and mindfulness.
• Life Choices: Making difficult decisions or overcoming indecision regarding life, relationships, or career choices.
• Managing Emotions: Learning to manage stress, motivation, and feelings of anger or frustration.
• Personal Fulfilment: Overcoming procrastination, finding motivation, and achieving self-realisation.
• Work Problems: Addressing work-related challenges such as dissatisfaction, career changes, or workplace stress.
• Building Resilience: Developing tools to handle difficulties, fostering inner resources, and building the ability to face future challenges with greater confidence.

Each person can find different ways to embark on a journey of personal growth, with each approach offering unique and effective ways to work on oneself. The right path often depends on one’s current stage of life, specific challenges, or individual sensitivities. I offer a variety of options to suit your needs:

• Individual Counselling: One-to-one sessions designed for those who want to address personal challenges in a safe, empathetic, and supportive environment.
• Couples Counselling: A couples’ journey to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rediscover harmony in the relationship.
• Group Counselling: Personal growth sessions focused on specific themes, where the group setting allows for self-exploration and growth through shared experiences.
• Group Workshops: Group meetings centred on specific topics, where proposed activities and group dynamics act as catalysts for personal growth.
• Eco-Counselling Sessions: Nature-based counselling, where the natural environment becomes a catalyst for self-discovery and personal development.

I hold a diploma in Counselling with a Pluralistic Integrative approach, which has equipped me with tools from a variety of theories and approaches. Additionally, I have a diploma in Art Counselling and experience as a vocal coach and singing teacher, and throughout my life, I’ve studied a range of holistic and artistic disciplines, all of which have contributed to a diverse set of tools that I can tailor to the specific needs of my clients, taking into account their goals, needs, personality, and individual circumstances.
