  • Vanessa Bandini and Rossana Pettersén use Somatic techniques as an integrative part of Schema therapy. The somatic interventions are body-based therapeutic techniques and nervous system regulation to help individuals to process trauma and emotional distress.

 FAQs

  • The length of therapy is highly personal and depends on your individual needs. goals and the frequency of your sessions. In general terms, clients coming with symptoms of anxiety or depression, report feeling better after 3-4 months of weekly therapy. For conditions like PTSD, personality disorders or multiple difficulties, therapy may last longer.

  • Talking about your difficulties or your past can be unsettling and intense but I’ll be there to help you process those feelings in a compassionate and non-judgemental way. On the other hand, there are also many occasions in therapy in which the sessions are smooth and filled with joy and gratitude to yourself.

  • Usually, we have 50 minutes of therapy, plus 5 minutes to recap, ask questions, book your next appointment, take pictures from our notes on the whiteboard, etc. Count with around 1 hour per session.

  • We’d suggest that you start with 4-5 weekly sessions to gain momentum, get acquainted with the methods and see initial progress. Then, we can have bi-weekly sessions. For therapy to have a healing effect, we need consistency.

  • Absolutely! I’m trained to give sessions online and obtain the same results. You will need a high speed internet connection and some privacy during one hour. You’ll receive a reminder one day before and I’ll send you a Zoom link before your session.

  • No. I don’t take any insurances. However, you will get a receipt after paying for your sessions, which you can later show to your insurance to claim compensation.

  • No. I do not prescribe medication.

  • Absolutely. Confidentiality is one of the most important components in therapy, as successful therapy requires a high degree of trust. All my notes from our sessions will remain under lock and key and nobody will have access to them without your written authorisation.
