Matteo Francescon
MSc, UKCP accredited Humanistic Psychotherapist and Counsellor
The purpose of this website is to offer a collection of thoughts and reflections, mainly about psychotherapy, but also about politics, nature and my experience of the world. Writing and sharing my thoughts helps me to feel more grounded and I hope others can also benefit from reading them.
I am a psychotherapist, currently working as Deputy Head of Student Counselling at the University of Bristol.
I was born in Torino, Italy, where I started my studies in History with a year abroad at the Université de Bourgogne in Dijon, France. After my studies, I worked in a EU-funded youth programme in Luxembourg, promoting inclusion for disadvantaged children and young people.
When I moved to the UK I worked in a farm in Scotland before starting my training as a psychotherapist. After volunteered as a counsellor in different places in London, I started working at the University of Bristol.
I'm interested in yoga, languages, research, art, politics, gardening and all sort of things.
