Approach

Gianfranco’s approach is integrative and creative, centering Gestalt therapy while drawing on transpersonal psychology, polyvagal-informed and trauma-aware practices. Sessions emphasize the here-and-now experience and encourage taking responsibility for feelings and actions by exploring unconscious patterns.

Gianfranco uses somatic techniques (body awareness, breathwork), meditation and mindfulness practices alongside tools like the Enneagram and clinical hypnosis where appropriate. He frames the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of change and works to maintain clarity and ethical mindfulness in the therapeutic field.

The practice also offers preparation and integration support for people who have had psychedelic experiences, focusing on risk reduction, meaning-making and bringing insights into daily life.
