Manuela Luise

💫 Welcome! I’m Manuela. I offer an integrative, client-centred approach and warmly welcome individuals of all genders, backgrounds and identities.💫 Born in Italy, I have always been interested in people and their lives. Before training as a therapist, I cultivated my interest in psychology and understanding others through the study of journalism and photography. Over the past 20 years, I have lived in several countries and experienced different cultures. These experiences have profoundly influenced my understanding of identity, belonging and relationships. In 2022, I obtained the German Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie qualification, which allows me to work in private practice. I currently live in Berlin with my partner, child and two Greek cats. ✨ "It can be difficult to put thoughts and feelings into words"✨ While studying for a Master's degree led by renowned Gestalt psychotherapists, I discovered how Art therapy offers a non-verbal and often non-threatening way to communicate and process emotions, bypassing the limitations of language and accessing deeper levels of awareness. This experience inspired me to pursue a second Bachelor's degree in Psychology, reshaping my career and professional focus. ✨ "Supporting people to feel safe and connected with themselves and others is at the heart of my work."✨ Driven by the desire to help people foster deeper connections, I became interested in attachment theory and decided to train in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Through the training in Internal Family System Therapy I am learning how to bring attachment theory inside, helping my clients feeling more safe, secure and connected with their parts/thoughts/feelings. 💫 Contact me to book a 35-minute introductory session. 💫 Notice: Please cancel or request an alternative appointment at least 48 hours in advance.
