About Dr. Stefania Canulli

Ms Stefania Canulli graduated in Psychology in Milan and specialized at the Nous School of Psychotherapy, where she also explored awareness practices such as mindfulness and Zen meditation, which now enrich her therapeutic approach.

Ms Canulli integrates cognitive-constructivist psychotherapy — which views reality as a subjective construct shaped by beliefs, values, and mental frameworks — with innovative tools such as yoga and relaxation techniques. In 2018, she obtained Yoga Alliance (RYT200) certification in Vinyasa Flow, combining dynamic yoga with psychotherapy to help manage mood disorders, anxiety, and stress while promoting psycho-physical balance.

She also trained in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy (PAT) in Switzerland and specializes in harm reduction counselling, providing support and integration for those who have had negative experiences with substance use in non-therapeutic contexts.

For years, Ms Canulli has assisted Italians living abroad (expats), offering psychological support that addresses the challenges of cultural change and the values of their country of origin.

Her approach is based on the belief that reality is subjective and individually constructed. Through psychotherapy, Ms Canulli helps people reinterpret their experiences in a meaningful way, fostering emotional well-being.

*Currently, Ms Canulli only offers sessions in Italian.*

La Dott.ssa Stefania Canulli si è laureata in Psicologia a Milano e si è specializzata presso la Scuola di Psicoterapia Nous, dove ha anche esplorato pratiche di consapevolezza come la mindfulness e la meditazione Zen, che ora arricchiscono il suo approccio terapeutico.

La Dott.ssa Canulli integra la psicoterapia cognitivo-costruttivista — che considera la realtà come un costrutto soggettivo modellato da credenze, valori e schemi mentali — con strumenti innovativi come lo yoga e le tecniche di rilassamento. Nel 2018, ha ottenuto la certificazione Yoga Alliance (RYT200) in Vinyasa Flow, combinando yoga dinamico e psicoterapia per aiutare a gestire disturbi dell'umore, ansia e stress, promuovendo al contempo l'equilibrio psico-fisico.

Si è inoltre formata in Terapia Assistita da Psichedelici (PAT) in Svizzera e si specializza nella consulenza per la riduzione del danno, fornendo supporto e integrazione a coloro che hanno avuto esperienze negative con l'uso di sostanze in contesti non terapeutici.

Da anni, la Dott.ssa Canulli assiste gli italiani che vivono all'estero (expat), offrendo supporto psicologico che affronta le sfide del cambiamento culturale e i valori del loro paese d'origine.

Il suo approccio si basa sulla convinzione che la realtà sia soggettiva e costruita individualmente. Attraverso la psicoterapia, la Dott.ssa Canulli aiuta le persone a reinterpretare le loro esperienze in modo significativo, favorendo il benessere emotivo.
