Psychological Counselling Service

• The Psychological Counselling Service has been created  in cooperation with the ATP (Association of Psychologist of Ticino) with the aim of facilitating access to professionals in the field of psychology.
• What is Psychological Counselling?
• Psychological Counselling is a way of providing  help in a moment of personal struggle.
• Emotional distress may come in different forms and degrees, from a short term to a more complicated and long- lasting discomfort. When a disorder or a problem interferes with the daily routine affecting relationships, family, the workplace or school, the person in need can turn to a professional psychologist. Psychological Counselling can focus directly on defining a specific problem, finding possible solutions, making decisions, handling a crisis.
• Psychological Counselling puts a focus on problems and helps finding solutions in different areas of life, facilitating adjustment and helping overcome obstacles.
• Together, concrete goals and feasible deadlines are set.
• Evaluation, diagnostic classification and reclaiming are the initial tools used to determine whether or not to seek professional counselling in case it's needed.
• Psychological Counselling is covered by the Cassa Malati Complementare (Complementary Healthcare Insurance) if provided by psychotherapists authorized by the Canton.
