Arianna Pipicelli
Gestalt Psychotherapist and Functional Medicine Pratictioner
I am a passionate psychotherapist, supervisor, and functional medicine practitioner. With a strong foundation in Gestalt psychotherapy and a growing expertise in functional medicine.
My Journey So Far...
My love affair with psychotherapy began at t Metanoia Institute, more than 20 years ago, where I earned my Master's degree in Gestalt Psychotherapy. I later expanded my expertise with a Diploma in Supervision from The Grove Practice. Currently, I'm excited to be part of the certification program at the Institute for Functional Medicine, having already completed their foundational module, "Apply Functional Medicine to Clinical Practice."
What Drives Me
As a UKCP-registered therapist, I'm committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics and professionalism. I believe that every individual deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for the human condition.
My Philosophy
I firmly believe that our relationships with ourselves and others hold the key to healing and growth. By tuning into our emotions, needs, and desires, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. The therapeutic bond between client and therapist is, in my opinion, the most crucial factor in successful therapy.
Functional Medicine: A Holistic Approach
As a functional medicine practitioner, I'm interested in addressing the root causes of mental health issues and promoting optimal health and wellbeing. I believe that by integrating functional medicine principles into my practice, I can offer a more comprehensive and effective approach to healing. From nutrition and lifestyle coaching to stress management and mindfulness, I'm committed to empowering my clients with the tools they need to thrive.
While I'm passionate about functional medicine psychotherapy, I also understand that some clients may prefer a more traditional approach to therapy. That's why I'm happy to offer conventional psychotherapy sessions as well. These sessions focus on exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and working through challenges and difficulties in a supportive and non-judgmental space.
Whether you're looking for a more traditional talk therapy approach or a holistic functional medicine approach, I'm here to support you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a session.
Existential Explorations
I'm fascinated by the complexities of human existence and the search for meaning, freedom, and responsibility. I'm comfortable exploring existential themes like mortality, choice, and the human condition, and I believe that these discussions can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth.
Language and Availability
My sessions are available in both English and Italian. Whether you're seeking long-term or short-term therapy, supervision, or explore the connection between mind, body and the environment, I'm here to listen and guide you on your journey.
