Dr Cristiana Ercole is an Italian psychologist in London, specialising in clinical and community psychology in adults.
She holds a undergraduate degree in Psychological Sciences and Techniques (2013) and a postgraduate degree in Cognitive Behavioural Orientation (2016) from the European University of Rome.
She is registered under the Italian Professional Body (n. 9110-Tuscany) since 2020 and with the British Psychological Society (GMBPSS 683640) since 2022.
Her areas of expertise cover a variety of conditions, both personal and relational, including:
The aim of her work is to encourage change, strengthen resources and help people, couples and families out of critical and difficult moments.
During her academic and professional career she has gained experience in different areas of psychology. She was in charge of rehabilitation centres and family homes with Association Andrea Tudisco, Rome, which dealt with the care of children with cancer and the support of their families.
She carried out psychological support activities at the Sant ‘Andrea University Hospital and at the Policlinic Umberto I Rome. Previously she was involved in projects aimed at disabled people and patients with serious cognitive and learning problems in day and recreational centres and care homes and social centres. For several years she worked within the anti-violence centre with Association Olympia De Gouge, Grosseto, developing experience with female victims of physical and psychological abuse. She, also, conducted training meetings aimed at promoting raising awareness against violence within schools.
Dr Ercole has a particular interest in psycho traumatology and the impact that childhood trauma has on the adult personality and on the dysfunctional cognitive aspects caused by parental neglect.
Her reference model is oriented towards a CBT Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She integrates this model of thought by using, at the same time, a motivational psychology that performs the function of activating and orienting specific behaviours aimed at change. The aim of therapy is to promote people's well-being. Her work, therefore, focuses on promoting well-being, improving quality of life and maintaining functional beliefs that will determine long-term mental health.
