Italian for the everyday. English for the hard days.
Therapy in English, online, wherever in Italy you live. No referral, no waiting list.
Italy is easy to fall in love with and slow to fully learn — and the bureaucracy of feeling isn't something your restaurant Italian prepared you for.

Why therapy in English
La dolce vita has hard days too
A lot of people live in Italy on warm, functional Italian — plenty for markets and neighbours, not enough for the machinery of a difficult year. Mental-health care in English is thin on the ground outside a couple of big cities, and doing therapy in a language you're still acquiring means describing the shape of a feeling instead of the feeling.
In English you can say it straight. Online, you choose from everyone working in English and meet from home.
What we work with
What brings people here
Loneliness and isolation
When your social life is made entirely of colleagues, and everyone who knew you before is in another time zone.
Anxiety and chronic stress
Visas, contracts, rent, the low hum of living somewhere you could be asked to leave.
Depression and flatness
Especially the kind that is hard to name, because on paper the move worked.
Identity and belonging
Caught between where you're from and where you live, between who you were and whoever this is now.
Relationships and family
Including the strain of having moved together — or of having moved without them.
Homesickness and grief
For people, for a former life, for the version of yourself that existed before you left.
This is not a complete list. If you're struggling with something that isn't here, get in touch anyway. Therapy begins with you, not with a category — and it doesn't require you to have found the right word for it first.
How it works
Three steps, no referral
Choose your therapist, pick a time in your own zone, meet by video from home. No referral, no Italian required.
About Wefeel
What Wefeel is — and what it isn't
Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.
We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.
Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.
If you need help right now
Wefeel is not a crisis service
If you are thinking about ending your life, or you're afraid of what you might do, please don't wait for an appointment. Emergency services answer at any hour, free of charge, and in English.

Common questions
Do I need Italian health insurance?
No. You arrange the session directly with the therapist. Nothing goes through the SSN.
Do I need to speak Italian?
No — that's the point. Sessions and this whole site are in English.
I'm on a waiting list — can I use this while I wait?
Yes, and many do. Nothing here replaces care you're already getting.
My therapist isn't in Italy. Does it matter?
Sessions are online, so fit matters more than location. Each profile states where they're qualified; ask if it matters for you.
Is it confidential?
Yes, subject to the usual professional limits.
Reading
Written by the therapists themselves
