“There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change. People wonder what you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can’t get lost. Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die; and you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding. You don’t ever let go of the thread.”

Dr. Francesca Nuzzolese
I am originally from Italy, with over 20 years of academic and professional life in the US. Currently based in Europe, I am able to take my expertise and work all over the world, thanks to my bicultural identity and the languages I speak.
My work takes the form of individualized/personalized journeys (coaching, psychotherapy, vocational guidance); group and team activities (spiritual retreats, workshops and seminars); and psychospiritual education (academic teaching, clinical training, lectures, writing and public speaking).
Both my therapeutic and pedagogical work are informed by a blend of theoretical disciplines (such as depth psychology, trauma theory, process theology and spirituality) and therapeutic practices (such as psychodrama, narrative and relational therapy), and sustained by ongoing research and training on best practices for the enhancement of human flourishing in all its forms.
Having lived and worked across many cultures and continents for most of my life, I tend to draw from an eclectic bouquet of inter-cultural resources and life experiences, including rituals, symbols, literature, art, poetry, nature, music, mysticism and Sacred Texts.
Each specific product and service I offer is embedded in high professional standards of confidentiality, integrity and accountability, as well as respect for human diversity and experiences in all their dimensions. My core and ultimate commitment is to contribute to the well-being of the planet by helping individuals and communities remove the obstacles that stand in the way of a good life—for themselves and for the communities and spaces they love.
