ABOUT ME
Floriana
Maione
Licensed Psychologyst
Let me introduce myself, my name is Floriana Maione a psychologist fluent in both Italian and English, with over 10 years of practice with international clients. I hold a Bachelor and a Master’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Rome La Sapienza. I then pursued further education with a four-year Graduate School program in Systemic-Relational Psychotherapy and additional training in Family Mediation. Motivated by my personal interest in therapeutic practices, I later completed advanced training in Clinical Hypnosis.
After running my own practice in Amsterdam for several years, I relocated to Rome and now offer therapy services between the two cities. I specialize in providing counseling and therapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with a variety of challenges, including relationship and family issues, communication difficulties, separation and divorce, depression, anxiety, burnout, work-related stress, phobias, codependency, love addiction, sleep disorders, and major life transitions.
I am a certified psychologist and psychotherapist, a member of the Italian Institute of Psychologists (Ordine degli Psicologi del Lazio, nr° 20873), and the Italian Society of Hypnosis.
On a personal note, I’m a dog lover and an avid reader. If I hadn’t become a psychologist, I would have loved to pursue a career in architecture.
About me
Therapy Approach
My therapeutic approach consists of two different methodologies – Systemic Relational Therapy and Clinical Hypnosis.
HOW IT WORKS
Systemic-Relational Therapy
Systemic-Relational Therapy focuses on the dynamics of human relationships, emphasizing interactions over individual behavior. Focused on resources and based on Systemic Thinking
Key principles:
- Analysis of emotional connections and communication patterns;
- Exploration of self-perception and personal reality in relation to others;
- Grounded in General Systems Theory (L. von Bertalanffy, 1969), which highlights how a change in one part of a system affects the whole.
Applications:
- Couples and families are viewed as interconnected systems shaped by emotional and relational bonds;
- Emotional distress is often rooted in relational imbalances rather than isolated individual issues;
- Particularly effective in couples and family therapy contexts.
Hypnosys
Hypnosis is often misrepresented in movies and popular media. In reality, therapeutic hypnosis is a state of deep, focused awareness, where the client remains in active dialogue with the therapist.
What it is:
- A scientifically recognized method used to access inner resources and promote change;
- A gentle and indirect approach that uses metaphors, body language, and storytelling;
- A safe and collaborative process tailored to individual needs.
Therapeutic benefits:
Clinical hypnosis is effective in treating a range of conditions, including:
- Anxiety, depression, and trauma;
- Phobias and stress-related issues;
- Addictions and eating disorders;
- Chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and sleep problems;
- Relational and work-related difficulties.
Many clients report significant improvements through hypnosis, particularly when addressing emotional blocks and stress-related symptoms.
