Hi, I’m Alessia Manzoli, and this is my story.
I am a compassionate psychotherapist who is committed to fostering a warm, safe, and inviting environment for my clients. I’m passionate about supporting people in their 20s and 30s as they navigate today’s complex social landscape. By integrating mindfulness with evidence-based techniques, I empower my clients to meet life’s challenges with confidence, curiosity, and authenticity.
My dedication to this work stems from my own mental health journey during my teens and early adulthood. I experienced firsthand how profoundly healing a safe therapeutic relationship can be, and this inspired me to create that same space for others. Having navigated my own experiences with anxiety, trauma, and self-discovery, I bring both lived experience and professional expertise to my practice, partnering with clients as they move toward healing and growth.
My therapeutic approach is also informed by my background as a behavioural therapist, yoga teacher, and spiritual psychotherapist. I believe in the mind-body-spirit connection and the ways mental and physical health intertwine. I draw on evidence-based strategies from behavioural therapy while integrating mindfulness practices from yoga to support holistic well-being. As a vegan, I value compassion for all living beings and encourage clients to nurture their connection to themselves and the world around them.
Outside of my work, I find joy and balance through hiking, practising yoga (and acro yoga!), baking plant-based treats, going to concerts, and spending times with family and friends. I also love crocheting and crafting - creative outlets that help me stay mindful, grounded, and connected. I believe it’s important for me to care for myself (even when life tries to get in the way) so I can authentically encourage and support my clients in doing the same in their own lives.
