4worldlovers: Psychotherapy is for people who face difficulties such as feelings of anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, emptiness, or lgbtqi + issues but also for people who are just looking for new, more productive ways to approach the issues that concern them. It is a place where you can gain better insight and awareness of your needs, discover the patterns that you inadvertently reproduce and get trapped in and make positive changes in your lives. Through psychotherapy you can achieve a healthier, more responsible and happier life.

The main issues that LGBTQi + individuals are concerned by are based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Oftentimes they face issues such as the effects of discrimination, anxiety, depression, some physical symptoms, the process of coming out, relationships with family and parents, relationships with partners and significant others. Psychotherapy addressed to LGBTQi + individuals aims, among other things, at their psychological empowerment in matters that may concern them and that may concern their sexual orientation and / or their gender identity

I offer individual sessions of psychodynamic psychotherapy in combination with selective interventions from other approaches. The sessions and the relationship between the therapist and the patient become a place of psychological support and care that creates a safe base from which begins a journey of exploring oneself and the important relationships in life.

4worldlovers: Welcome! My name is Somesh Valentino Curti, I work as psychologist for expats in Amsterdam since 2011.

I speak English and Italian. My practice is a process through which you can set yourself free from old patterns, open up to new perspectives in life and become creative, sensitive and fully alive again. My intention is to help you feeling better about yourself and changing what is not working in your life, so that you can satisfy your most important needs.

My area of expertise lies in the following range of contexts:

Expat process: I support expats during their integration process so that they find their own way to express themselves and their abilities.

Emotional instabilities: Such as anxiety, depression, stress, conflicts (within the family or at work) and low self esteem. I help people to get out of those circumstances and make a new start.

Relationships: I help find a way out of your couple conflicts in order to start experiencing relationships with joy again, by means of individual and couple sessions.

Sexuality: I support you to let your sexual problem go, understand your sexuality better and discover how to experience and enjoy it.

Addiction to food (anorexia, bulimia), sex (porn, prostitutes, compulsive behavior), relationships, gambling, substances (drugs, alcohol), money, work, shopping etc. I will help you find an appropriate strategy for your specific addiction and start opening up to life again.

If you need support during a difficult moment in your life, you can contact me by e-mail or by phone 0031 (0)6-34222153 (from Tues to Fri 9:30AM – 7:00 PM / Sat 9:00 AM – 1:00PM) and share your experience. I offer also online sessions on Skype, Zoom and WhatsApp.

4worldlovers: I am Rita Bonfà, an English, Italian and Spanish-speaking psychologist in Amsterdam, with over 15 years of experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a strong focus on online therapy.

We all experience different forms of mental or emotional distress at one point or another in our lives. Sometimes we might need some help to pinpoint what we need to overcome challenges and acquire new skills.

It’s the right moment to see a psychologist if you feel overwhelmed with stress or anxiety, if you are not enjoying life at its fullest or notice that your mood is often low, if you are having trouble communicating your feelings/opinions or regulating your emotions, if you notice that something in your life quality has been impacted such as your energy levels, your sleep or eating patterns or even your physical health, work performance and relationships with others.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used approaches to treating people with a variety of emotional and behavioural problems. It is evidence-based, which means that it is supported by an abundance of research over the past several decades which have proven its effectiveness.

The therapy is based on the idea that behaviour, thoughts and feelings are learned, and can therefore be unlearned, or modified. Emotional disturbance is caused by distorted or irrational thinking patterns – you can change how you feel by changing how you think.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a structured approach and is considered among the most rapid treatments in terms of obtained results. For lasting improvement you will be encouraged to explore and express your feelings related to different aspects of your life, set goals and follow assignments to achieve them.

Counselling is a short-mid term therapy. We would have an initial session (intake) in which you can tell me your story and your expectations/motivation. Based on that, we can make a plan of goals to achieve and how to achieve them.

During our sessions you will find a warm confidential space that allows you to explore uncomfortable feelings, understand its root causes, place it in a context and learn coping skills to manage those feelings.

We would start with weekly sessions and gradually move to appointments every two weeks, or even checking in once per month.

Cancellations need to be made at least 24 hours prior to the appointment (Saturdays and Sundays excluded).

For many people, especially expats and frequent travellers, online communication is a major part of our lifestyle.

During online therapy we would cover the same topics as during face-to-face counselling. For some people it is even easier to open up online.

Online therapy offers the advantages of flexible location and more available hours.
