Bianca Morandi

A lot of people come to me wanting to know how to handle emotions that feel too big, like the overwhelm, the shutdown, how a small thing can throw off your whole afternoon, the tiredness of managing what's happening inside while still showing up to work and the rest of life. The work isn't about getting rid of those feelings. It's about learning to relate to them differently.

What I offer is a more human kind of work, not focused on fixing the person. We sit with the discomfort instead of fighting it, and we learn to act in ways that matter to you, even when it's hard. My goal with you is that, over time, you would feel less reactive, more flexible, and more able to live the life you actually want, not because the hard feelings are gone, but because they're no longer organising their lives around avoiding them.

A lot of the patterns you struggle with elsewhere also tend to show up in the therapy room, for example, in what's hard to say, in what you find yourself doing when a topic gets close, in what happens when something I say doesn't quite land. I pay attention to that, gently, because it's often where some of the most useful work happens.

My approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), with a CBT foundation underneath.
