About me
Psychologist Psychotherapist Life Coach
My name is Selvaggia and I graduated (BA Psychology) from New York University in 1993. After a short break from my studies, during which I did various jobs, I obtained a Masters in Psychoanalytic Developmental Psychology at the Anna Freud Center in London. I continued my studies and specialized in Existential Counseling Psychology at City University. I attained a post MA in Psychodynamic psychotherapy in 2004. I pursued the Life Coach certificate in 2012. I work mainly with young adults (18-25) and adults in an individual psychotherapy setting. I deal with relationship difficulties, anxiety, self-esteem, personal development, psychosomatics and obsessive disorders. As a Life Coach I help people who are dissatisfied with their lives or feel they are not giving their best and are stuck in repetitive and unsatisfactory patterns. I work in my private practices in Rome, Milan and Ibiza. I organize holistic retreats to recharge, relax and increase self-awareness. I collaborate with Modern Health an organization which provides psychotherapy services to employees and family members who work for multinational and humanitarian organizations. I am a chartered member of the British Psychological Society, and I am a member of the Order of Psychologists of Lazio. I speak and practice in English, Italian and Spanish.
I help people to identify and modify those mechanisms that keep them trapped in repetitive and counterproductive behaviors.
I promote psychological well-being through self-awareness. I help relieve the symptoms of psychological discomfort. I help people rediscover their own voice. Or so I like to think.

What I do
Psychodynamic psychotherapy
What is it about
I use psychodynamic psychotherapy which is mainly based on understanding one's emotions and experiences, providing targeted help to live in a more peaceful and conscious way. Psychodynamic psychotherapy aims to understand another person in an empathic and non-judgmental way, within a meaningful relationship. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is useful for identifying and modifying repetitive and dysfunctional mechanisms that create discomfort. It promotes building a different and richer self-image. Psychodynamic therapy has been found to be very effective in resolving emotional problems, relationship difficulties and stressful situations. I practice and teach techniques of mindfulness to alleviate anxiety and obsessive thoughts. . I also use strategies of Life coaching to achieve concrete goals (work, relationships, etc.).
