About me
I’m Valerio Alessandri, a professional counsellor and art counsellor, trained at Aspic Milano. With years of experience in personal development and a deep commitment to helping others, I specialise in guiding individuals through change and difficult life choices, relationship struggles and self-discovery.
Throughout my career and life, I’ve navigated significant challenges, including difficult life transitions, relocations across different countries, relationship struggles and unconventional career paths, all of which have strengthened my ability to support clients facing similar hurdles. These experiences have helped me strenghten my sensitivity, adaptability, and a profound understanding of the value of authenticity, vulnerability, and connection.
In my practice, I take a holistic approach, considering the interconnections between mind, body, emotions, and relationships.
In addition to that, I have worked as a musician and singer in the past, and the arts are an integral part of my experience. This allows me to integrate creativity and artistic skills into my practice.
This unique blend enables me to support clients not only in navigating their challenges but in reconnecting with their inner selves, helping them unlock their true potential.
I firmly believe that everyone has the inherent strength to transform difficulties into growth. If you are seeking professional support to navigate change, deepen your self-awareness, or live more authentically, I’m here to help.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
Art therapyRecommended for those who feel more comfortable expressing emotions through creativity and want to explore their feelings through art rather than talking.
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
Holistic approachRecommended for those who want to address their mental health through a balanced focus on mind, body, and spirit.
I hold a diploma in Counselling with a Pluralistic Integrative approach, which has equipped me with tools from a variety of theories and approaches, allowing me to adapt my counselling style according to the needs of my clients.
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 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.
Among the artistic tools I may use are visual arts, creative writing, collage, drawing, singing, movement and acting.
I specialise 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.
In doing so, I have a holistic approach, considering all aspects of a person— body, mind, emotions, creativity, and relationships.
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.
