FrancescaValentini

Psychological Counsellor 

Francesca Valentini

For me, the mission to help people find their inner strength began a long time ago.

For many years, I lived and worked in Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Morocco before making Zurich my home in 2019.

During this time, I earned two master's degrees and a Swiss Federal Diploma in Psychological Counseling. I then opened my practice in the center of Zurich, where I have been working with people of all ages and cultural backgrounds ever since.

As a therapist and psychological counsellor, my goal is to provide you with the tools to live a happy, fulfilling, and meaningful life.

My Work

My goal is to help my clients live a happy life - and to release inner blockages along the way. The sooner we can dissolve blockages, the sooner a healthy relationship with others and with ourselves becomes possible - one of the most important prerequisites for a fulfilling life.

To recognize blockages and negative thought patterns, an unbiased and fresh "view from the outside" often helps. This view allows me to see connections between experiences my clients have had in the past and current thought or behavior patterns that are affecting their lives.

I am also convinced that blockages cannot be solved in a purely intellectual way. Therefore, an essential part of the work I do with my clients is to allow emotional pain to come to the surface, and to accept that it exist. Through this work, such emotions drastically lose intensity, and one can move forward much faster. In the words of G.C. Jung, "We cannot change anything until we accept it".

Many of us lack a healthy relationship with our own vulnerability. We shy away from expressing feelings and thoughts that are commonly thought of as weak or intimate. We don't want our vulnerable parts to surface - even though they are often nothing more than an expression of love, humanity and closeness. Yet hidden in vulnerability is the key to healthy relationships. When we learn to communicate our feelings and thoughts in a comfortable way, our relationships improve as a result. As a psychological counsellor in Zurich, I offer a pathway to unlocking these deeper connections.

As a therapist and counselor, I am an accredited professional with a deep understanding of human psychology and a passion for helping others.

About us

My Approach

Our mission

My Approach towards clients

As a behavioral therapist, I help you identify and transform negative beliefs, emotions, and behaviors using structured, sience-based techniques, supporting you at your own pace to achieve your personal goals.

 

One of the primary approaches I use is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which is designed to help you embrace your thoughts and feelings while pursuing a rich and meaningful life.

 

​ACT is a powerful and practical approach that teaches you to embrace your thoughts and emotions rather than fighting them. This approach allows you to live a more fulfilling life, even when faced with pain and stress.

The beauty of it is that, once you learn the basics of the approach, you will be able to apply them to any future challenging situation in life. As a therapist based in Zurich, I would be honoured to help you directly and first-hand in learning such important new skills.

Our Vision

How does ACT therapy work?

My goal is to help you live a life free from unwanted influences, becoming the master of your own mind and behaviors—achieving psychological flexibility.

We achieve this by working through six key components:

Empowerment or Acceptance, Cognitive Defusion, Mindful Practices, Self-as-Context, Values, and Committed Action.

 

These components are explored through both dialogue and practical exercises.

Conversations help us delve into your past and present, thoughts and feelings, beliefs, identity, and behaviors.

Practical exercises allow you to apply what you've learned in real-life situations, fostering lasting change.

Psychological flexibility means adapting to situations with openness, staying present, and taking actions aligned with your values, even when facing difficult emotions or thoughts.

 

By developing this flexibility, you'll navigate life's ups and downs with resilience and maintain a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Through ACT, you'll be empowered to handle life's challenges with greater ease and move towards a more purpose-driven life.
