I had a fantastic experience with Gianluca, he made me feel very comfortable during sessions, and was very encouraging with progress.

I was always told I needed to “unpack” my trauma. There is so much I felt Overwhelmed. I hadn’t had much luck in finding someone to help me organize my thoughts in my current tricky, complicated, and challenging situation. I spoke about everything or nothing or went down rabbit holes, or cried too much during sessions i never went anywhere. I truly thought this is my last go at giving this a try. Then I found Gianluca Bruno. Slowly he led me through the unpacking process. When I came to realize that recently I thought “I can do this” and that gives me so much hope. He is patient, and has done an extraordinary job with this trauma victim

Gianluca is calm, smart, and offers really good advice to reframe my way of thinking (and ways to practice rewording or reframing my thoughts, while not trying to change them). I quite like working with him so far.

I feel listened to and he has always given my problems the value they deserve, which I was not good at doing on my own. He's funny, calm, kind, respectful and great at explaining what you are going through internally. 10/10 ❤️
