Common questions about starting online psychoanalytic therapy from abroad.
Sessions take place over video call, in Italian or English, at a regular weekly time. The work follows the same principles as in-person psychoanalytic therapy: a consistent space to explore what's difficult, understand recurring patterns, and think through the experience of building a life between countries and languages.
Sessions typically last 50 minutes and are held weekly. Frequency can be adjusted together depending on your goals and circumstances.

For clients living abroad, it's often the only practical way to access psychoanalytically informed therapy in their own language.
