Hi, I'm Fede.
I'm originally from Italy, and British Columbia has been my home for the past decade.
Beginning a healing journey of self-discovery and empowerment is a courageous step, and I’m honoured that you’ve chosen to take that step here at Collective Growth.
As an immigrant myself, I understand the unique challenges of navigating systemic barriers, the sacrifices often required, and the emotional weight that can accompany such experiences. These life chapters have shaped me deeply, cultivating a sense of humility, empathy, and compassion—foundations I believe are essential for authentic human connection.
Being a counsellor is a heartfelt calling. I find deep meaning in holding space for others as they share their stories and emotions, and I feel truly honoured to walk alongside those on a journey toward authenticity and freedom.
In my practice, I welcome people exactly as they are—without judgment or expectation. I bring warmth and support into the therapeutic space, helping clients feel safe enough to explore their inner world and gently move toward balance and wholeness.
Wholeness and Interconnectedeness are central themes in my work. I consider each person’s experience within the context of their relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them.
As a trauma-informed counsellor, I offer a person-centred approach grounded in curiosity and deep respect for each person unique experiences and strengths. My work draws on modalities such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Parts Work, and Somatic Therapy.
Mindfulness is a central resource and guiding practice in my work. It helps anchor us in the present moment, inviting clarity, presence, and a deeper awareness—it’s the bridge to the wisdom held within the body.
Outside of counselling, I find inspiration and stillness in nature—especially by the ocean, which continues to be my greatest muse. I’m passionate about astrology and love exploring anything that reflects the deep interconnectedness between humanity and the universe. I also enjoy music, dancing, sharing joy, meaningful conversations, spontaneous adventures, and getting lost in a good book.
