Dr Alessio Agostinis

Dr Alessio Agostinis has been a clinical psychologist since 2008 working with with complex chronic health conditions both individual and groups. His more recent public work is with intensive care survivors. His main psychological therapy approaches are mindfulness, trauma sensitive, and approaches looking at relationships, including those with our inner world and other people. More recently, he has embarked in self development around expanded, non-ordinary states harm reduction and integration, with the Institute of Psychedelic Therapies (IPT). Key to the integrity of his work, however, is learning from personal experience as a client/user (as well as professional learning), and a genuine intention to get to know and align deeply with his clients. Thus, his main work currently is the provision of safe but also challenging psychological therapy that honours the relationship between key life events, interpersonal difficulties and repeated cycles of upset and health presentations, leaning into psychospiritual / existential values.

Alessio informs his individual client preparation and integration work (particularly around safety) with his experience with neurodivergence (predominantly dyslexia, as well as ADD/ADHD and autism), and reasonable adjustments, intervention, consultation and collaboration on service developments and innovation, professional, safety and quality standards and practices, teaching, training, supervision, as well as research.  systems of work include individual, corporate, legal, employers, community and voluntary, and Government sectors. In his personal time, he is a proud dad to Oliver, he enjoys low-water fishing, spearfishing and time out at sea, as well as walking around Jersey with his Cavachon dog, Eevee.
