Petra Guggisberg Nocelli
I was born in Locarno, I have two children and I work as a psychotherapist in private practice in Lugano, Switzerland. I provide both individual and couple therapy. I have studied many different relaxation, imaginative and meditative techniques.
My encounter with Psychosynthesis – which took place in the 90s during my university studies – marked the birth of a great passion. I specialized at the Italian School of Psychosynthetic Psychotherapy in Florence (SIPT) and at the School of Integrated Psychotherapy in Lugano.
I lead workshops and seminars on different topics such as Self-esteem, Burnout Prevention, Self-compassion, Creative Use of Aggressive Energy, Psychosynthesis, Interpersonal Relationships and Communication etc.
I love writing, and I have published a number of books on Psychosynthesis over the years.
I am a member of the Swiss Association of Psychotherapists (ASP), of the Italian Society of Therapeutic Psychosynthesis (SIPT) and trainer of the Institute of Psychosynthesis founded by Roberto Assagioli. I also work in partnership and/or have already collaborated with various institutions: European Federation for Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy (EFPP); European Psychosynthesis Association (EPA); Psychosynthesis Coaching Limited; Psychosynthesis Trust; Synthesis Life Coaching (Italian section); Istituto Internazionale di Psicosintesi Educativa (IIPE); Associazione di Psicosintesi Applicata “A. Tallerini”; Associazione GEA Psicosintesi; and other.
