Who I am

I am Roberta Scirea, a Clinical Psychologist (LM-51, 110/110 cum laude), registered with the Order of Psychologists of Lombardy – Section A, and with the National Mindfulness Register.

Today, I support individuals, professionals, and organisations through individual and group mindfulness programmes designed to cultivate attention, presence, body awareness, and a clearer relationship with thoughts, emotions, and habitual patterns.

An evolving journey

My professional path began with an interest in the relationship between the body, emotions, habits, and quality of life.

I completed international training in Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York and the Department of Integrative Medicine at Duke University. This training enabled me to explore the role of nutrition, lifestyle, and listening to the body’s signals.

Over time, my studies in clinical psychology and my personal meditation practice made the focus of my work increasingly clear: mindfulness as a practice for training attention and awareness.

This experience continues to inform the way I understand each person and now comes together within a psychological, mindfulness-based framework.

My work today

For me, mindfulness is not a standardised technique to be applied in the same way to everyone. It is a practice to be carefully adapted to the individual, their history, and the context in which they live or work.

I work with people who wish to better understand their patterns of stress and reactivity, cultivate greater focus and presence, relate to emotions without feeling overwhelmed by them, and listen more closely to their body’s signals.

In professional settings, I offer programmes that support quality of attention, clarity in decision-making, and the ability to remain present under pressure.

Mindfulness training

My training includes internationally recognised mindfulness-based protocols and approaches. I am qualified to deliver MBSR, MB-EAT, CFT, MBRP, and MSC.

Further details on individual protocols and programme formats are available on the Services page.

A scientifically grounded and personalised approach

My work integrates clinical psychology, meditation, and mind–body awareness. It is grounded in scientific evidence and mindfulness-based protocols, applied rigorously and with respect for their structure. Attention to individual differences guides the choice of programme, setting, and practices most appropriate for each person.

I consider the dynamic relationship between the mind, nervous system, emotions, body, and lifestyle. This perspective makes it possible to work concretely with a person’s lived experience, respecting their pace, resources, boundaries, and context.

I have also explored Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda as complementary perspectives for observing the mind–body relationship. These studies broaden my understanding of the person, while clinical psychology and scientific evidence remain the foundation of my work.

The aim is not to achieve an ideal state, but to develop more stable resources for navigating the complexity of personal and professional life.
