Alessandro Motta Psicologo Lugano

I obtained my degree in Clinical and Community Psychology from the University of Padua in 1996, followed by professional licensure as a psychologist in 1998. Subsequently, I obtained a diploma in Clinical Hypnosis in 2003 from the Fondation Ling (now IRHYS) in Lausanne. I also received cantonal authorization to practice as a psychologist from the Health Office in Bellinzona.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

After engaging in psychotherapeutic work on myself, utilizing both Jungian and Freudian approaches, I worked initially as an educator and social worker, and later as a psychologist and psychotherapist. I have treated a wide range of disorders, from pathological addictions to neurotic, psychotic, and borderline psychopathologies. I also have experience in testing, including both projective, intellectual, and neuropsychological tests.

PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC APPROACH

I integrate various influences into my psychotherapeutic practice, including Freud, Green, Winnicott, Klein, Erikson, and Jung. Alongside traditional psychoanalytic theory, I also utilize post-Freudian theories and Jungian approaches, as well as brief psychotherapies based on the Ericksonian approach to clinical hypnosis.

CLINICAL HYPNOSIS

Clinical hypnosis is an important part of my therapeutic approach. It induces a trance state that facilitates communication with unconscious resources. Hypnosis can address a wide range of disorders, including psychosomatic disorders, childbirth preparation, chronic pain, sleep disorders, stress, pathological addictions, and more. It can also be used to enhance coping with daily difficulties, overall health, and smoking cessation.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF HYPNOSIS

Hypnosis can be applied in various contexts, such as exam preparation, sports competitions, or professional performances. It can also be used to increase well-being and satisfaction in daily life, especially through self-hypnosis.
