Elisa Pandini

I’m an Italian-trained psychologist currently based in Berlin, where I’m completing a Value-Based Counseling training at Ipso. My professional path has been shaped by both clinical work and personal experiences of change and adaptation. I have worked in therapeutic communities supporting people with complex emotional and relational difficulties, including psychosis, substance use and personality disorders. In my work today, this means I focus on staying present and attuned to what is happening in the moment, especially when things feel confusing, intense or hard to express. I pay close attention to the emotional space between us, and to how your experience unfolds session by session. Having moved abroad myself, I know how disorienting it can feel to start over in a new place. The sense of being “in between”, not fully belonging anywhere, is something I often explore with clients. I specialize in: – Life transitions and living abroad (identity confusion, disorientation, starting over) – Anxiety, emotional overwhelm and burnout – Relationship and interpersonal difficulties – Addiction and dependency patterns (substance use, habits, emotional reliance) – Body image and relationship with the body
