My name is Alessia Carrano and I am a Berlin-based certified gender, relationship and sex counsellor. I have an Msc in Gender and Sexuality from the University of Amsterdam as well as a training in psycho-sexological counselling from France. Combining a sociological and psychological approach, I create a safe space for my clients to introspect and improve the quality of their relationships to themselves – and by extension, to others.
By welcoming my clients in a compassionate and empathetic space, I help them develop and strengthen their self-compassion and acceptance. My ultimate goal is to help clients create a new way to love, and help them live more fulfilled and connected lives.
- I offer counselling in English, French and Italian.
Having lived in the US, France, and India, and with Italian, Greek and Lebanese roots, I have developed a deep understanding of and connection with people from all types of backgrounds. My approach is based on intersectional feminism, queer and critical race theory: this means I deconstruct the issues that my clients face in a way that understands how structural and systemic issues infiltrate people’s intimate lives.
