My methods

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

ACT has been described as the Third Wave of Behavioural Therapies. It is a unique therapy modality based on the innovative use of mindfulness and human values.

ACT is an evidence-based therapy modality with a growing number of trustworthy scientific studies being released every year proving ACT to be effective for a number of clinical conditions such as depression, anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, substance use and more.

Humanistic Approach

The humanistic approach in psychology focuses on understanding the whole person and their unique individuality, rather than just diagnosing symptoms or labels. It is based on the belief that people have free will and are driven to achieve their full potential, or self-actualize, when given the right conditions. This approach is valuable for personal growth and self-discovery. Additionally, humanism emphasizes the importance of healthy communities and societies in fostering individual well-being and providing necessary social support.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is increasingly gaining recognition for improving life satisfaction, reducing stress, enhancing self-awareness, and boosting emotional intelligence. While often confused with meditation, mindfulness is actually a mental state of openness, awareness, and focus.
In other words: Mindfulness is the natural human capacity to be fully present, aware of our surroundings and actions, without becoming overly reactive or overwhelmed by external events.
While meditation is just one of many ways to cultivate mindfulness and its benefits.

Transpersonal Psychology

Transpersonal psychology emerged from earlier psychological approaches, such as psychodynamic and humanistic, while also incorporating spiritual aspects of human existence. It goes beyond the personal and ego, focusing on soul consciousness, mind, spirituality, and higher states of awareness.

This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the human experience, supporting recovery and fostering resilience. Transpersonal psychology views human development across a full spectrum.

Individual Consultations

Individual therapy, also known as psychotherapy or psychological counseling, is a process where a person works one-on-one with a trained therapist in a private, supportive, and confidential space. In therapy, you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, work through difficult memories, and gain a better understanding of yourself and others. It helps you identify areas of your life you want to improve, set personal goals, and make positive changes.

People seek therapy for many reasons, such as managing life challenges, healing from past trauma, dealing with depression or anxiety, improving mental health or simply wanting personal growth and self-awareness. Therapy can be short-term, lasting a few sessions, or long-term, depending on your needs and goals.

Assessment

A psychological assessment is a process where a trained psychologist uses proven tools and methods to evaluate a person’s mental health and behavior. This is done through interviews, standardized tests, observations, and other techniques to get a clear picture of how someone is functioning.

Assessments are helpful for diagnosing mental health conditions, finding the best treatment options, tracking progress in therapy, and understanding a person’s strengths, challenges, and unique characteristics. This information can guide both the individual and those involved in their care.

Integration Work

Gustavo Gallo Bolzani provides psychological support during the preparation and integration phases of psychedelic assisted therapy in partnership with other health professionals.

Also in the context of harm reduction, Gustavo provides integration services to support people who have been through altered states of mind - naturally occurring, trauma based, medical or pharmacological in nature.

This service is useful in the current context of underground substance use, particularly among young people as well as others looking for healing, often times in the wrong places. Integration work will help people make sense, release the emotional charge and recover from the altered states experiences, which can leave severe wounds and damage people psychological if conducted in an illegal or inappropriate manner.

Consultancy and Report Writing

Psychological Reports

A psychological report is a formal document prepared by a psychologist that summarizes the services provided and outlines clinical findings regarding an individual’s mental health. These reports serve various purposes, such as informing general practitioners (GPs), supporting education institutions, assisting with Centrelink claims, employment issues, work rehabilitation, and matters related to the justice or immigration systems.
