Dublin Psychotherapy

I had a really great conversation. Marcello is a great Specialist, he asks the right questions and he understands very quick. A can recommend him in any way as a Psychologist. The Therapy will go on. Thank you.

I contacted Marcello in March 2018 because I was dealing with a strong fear of flying and I was avoiding to take aeroplanes for 1 year (during which I worked with other professionals with no success). Four months after I started to fly again, and I took 5 flights before the end of the year. We worked a lot on the connections between fear and my life so that I learned a lot about how to manage myself in many difficult situations.

I believe that Marcello has great talent as a psychotherapist. I liked a lot the fact that his approach is oriented to achieving practical results and changing everyday life for the better. Highly recommended!

I've contacted Marcello after having closed a treatment with another psychotherapist during 2017. I found here a non-judgemental place where step by step I could open myself and explain the reason/s that brought me to ask his help. I found his approach very respectful and full of insight at the same time. This gave me the opportunity to understand better my behaviour, what beliefs were limiting my social and private life.

Now after almost 8 months I feel more confident in taking actions, less strict with myself and more open to experimenting my personal way to achieve my potential. With the conviction that getting better is mainly a process than a result and even sometimes I don't get what I want. I may always enjoy my path towards this progress, being less self-critical than I was before.

I choose Dublin Psychotherapy mainly because as Italian I was looking for the same mother-tongue therapist.

I was treated by Marcello from Aug/2013 to Jan/2016: 1.5 years. I was diagnosed Dysthymia and Cyclothymia with bipolar mood. Marcello treated me with cognitive behavioral therapy.

I had never thought I would have been able to live ever in a society and I had never thought I would stop going to my therapist. Today I celebrate my first year from my last time at Marcello's: I can say loudly I am able to live on my own, to observe myself, to be aware of what's around me, of the traps of my minds. I can see I am free now, and it took time! It took 2.5 years, but I made it. Today I went back to Marcello's just to say Thank You and to tell him about my current life. For the first time ever I felt being a peer. Thank you, Marcello!

Marcello helped me to finally understand these internal mechanisms that made me feel not balance and thanks to him today I can definitely control what may cause stress and frustration and transform it into a positive energy to better handle all the difficult situation I'm facing

I had a great feeling from the beginning with Marcello, understanding all my mistakes and all my life traps.

I can see a great improvement in my own behaviour, this is only the beginning of my new life.

I went to see Marcello when i was stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed by various things in life. Even after one session with Marcello, I could feel a positive difference in my self. I continued therapy for a few months and my stress ans anxiety were alleviated hugely. I would highly recommend anyone going to see Marcello to help with stress, anxiety, and life traps to help you get back on the right track.

Very positive

Schema Therapy

Although initially skeptical about therapy in general, I found the Marcello's approach extremely helpful: in just 6 months have helped me to cope much better with the stress and find a better way to balancing the often competing demands of home, work, and not least, myself.

I think that Marcello is a very flexible and competent professional. We are mainly using the "schema therapy". You always think that you behave in a certain way because it's part of your "nature". Most of the time it's not like this, we use misleading patterns to interpret the events and to take decisions. This therapy helps you understand where these patterns come from, how to manage and overcome them.

As it was the first time that I decided to go to the psychologist, I didn't know how to understand who might be the right person for me with the right professional competences. Well, now I know that Marcello definitely is, because my life and the way I perceive it has completely changed since when I've decided to start this journey.
I feel a more balanced person, more mature and aware of myself. I am not scared about my limits, because now I know from where they come from and how to manage them.
This is possible for two reasons:
1. I strongly desired to live well
2. I couldn't have been luckier to choose Marcello as my therapist.
He's an active listener; I always feel free to express myself without feeling judged. He knows when to be firm to help me be aware of the constraints and misleading interpretation I give to the events. In doing so, he keeps being supportive and empathetic, knowing when to use a bit of sense of humour.
I couldn't recommend more to start this journey with such a competent and humane professional as Marcello is.

I am meeting Marcello on a regular basis, even though I understand it is going to take time, willingness and commitment to change and improve certain psychological partners, with Marcello I feel I am on the right path.

I have been meeting Marcello for nearly a year now and I found the way he engages with me is very effective and pleasurable.

Thanks to his help, I discovered my internal thoughts patterns and the origins of them, and this awareness is helping me to gradually overcome my bad habits.

Hi approach is mainly cognitive, but he also use traditional psico-analysis, coaching, PNR and schema-therapy.

Schema therapy

Marcello is very professional, the tools he use are modern and effective and every time he tries to be willing and helpful. Expressly recommended.

Met with Marcello

Within the first meeting he identified that I did not have anger management problems, it went much further and deeper than that.

The first meeting has changed everything about me, and I am a better man for it. Now onto the 8th meeting and he has altered the way I view everything. The last time I lost my temper was 2 days before I first met with Marcello, before that it was almost every day over something. Everything with my relationships has changed for the better.

The hardest question he asked was at the beginning - what do you want out of this? After that the questions worse! - got more difficult and probing, specific and sharp. He brought home to me how damaged emotionally I have been, and now we are going through how to fix it.

Should have seen him years ago.
