Hello, I’m Camilla Gamba.

I’m a psychologist and psychotherapist based in Milan, Italy.

I work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds, supporting adults and couples in developing greater mental, emotional and relational wellbeing.

Individual therapy

I support adults experiencing:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Grief and loss

• Low self-esteem and issues around identity

• Eco-anxiety and climate-related distress

Couples therapy

I support couples navigating:

• Conflict and communication difficulties

• Reconnection and intimacy

• Separation and Divorce

• Cross-cultural relationships

Ecopsychology, climate psychology and science communication

Alongside my clinical work, I contribute to the development of ecopsychology and climate-aware approaches in Italy, bringing international research and clinical practice into conversation with the Italian context.

I offer:

• Courses and professional training

• Workshops and educational events

• Public talks and science communication

I collaborate with a growing network of psychologists and professionals exploring the relationship between mental health, culture, community and the natural world. 

About me and my work

I am a psychologist and psychotherapist committed to evidence-based practice and to understanding the complexity of human experience.

My work combines scientific rigour with curiosity and compassion, recognising that our mental health is shaped not only by our individual experiences, but also by our relationships, cultural backgrounds, communities and the environments we are part of.

I believe that good psychological work honours both research and the complexity of being human. Through therapy, training and public engagement, I aim to make psychological knowledge accessible and explore how we can better understand ourselves, our relationships and our connection with the wider world.

Multicultural background and transcultural psychotherapy

Having grown up in an Italian-American family and lived in the United States, Italy and the UK, I have always been interested in how culture, identity and belonging shape our experiences.

My training in transcultural psychotherapy supports me in working with people from diverse backgrounds, with attention to the role of values, traditions, spirituality, family systems, migration and identity in mental health.

Trauma-informed therapy

A large part of my clinical training took place while working with migrants and people seeking asylum – people who had experienced forced migration, trauma and loss. Through this work I developed a deeper understanding of how experiences of rupture, violence, displacement and marginalization can affect a person’s identity, sense of belonging, and ability to feel safe and nurture meaningful connections . This work has also shown me the important role that healthy relationships, supportive communities and personal resources can play in processes of healing and rebuilding.

I bring this perspective into my work with anyone navigating trauma, grief or major life transitions, offering a safe space to process difficult experiences, re-connect with a felt-sense of safety, offer a sense of continuity to their lived experience, and rediscover strengths, relationships and sources of support.

Relationships and community

Whether through individual therapy, couples therapy or group and community work, I support people in developing healthier connections with themselves and others, while recognising how our relationships are shaped by our personal histories, cultures and communities.

This understanding also extends to our relationship with place and the more-than-human world, as our sense of belonging and wellbeing are influenced by the environments and living systems we are part of.

Ecopsychology and climate-aware therapy

My work also integrates ecopsychology, an interdisciplinary field exploring the relationship between human wellbeing and the natural world.

Grounded in psychological research, ecopsychology recognises that our sense of belonging, identity and wellbeing are influenced by our relationship with the living world around us. I integrate evidence-informed approaches such as Walk & Talk Therapy where clinically relevant.

My training in Climate-Aware Therapy – the clinical application of the science deriving from Climate Psychology – allows me to support people in understanding the psychological dimensions of ecological and climate change in order to be better equipped to face individual and collective challenges, threats, losses and changes.

Growth, agency and contribution

I believe that, with the right support, people have the capacity to grow, adapt and create meaningful change in their lives and communities.

Through psychotherapy, training, workshops and science communication, I aim to make psychological knowledge accessible and explore how we can cultivate greater connection — with ourselves, with others and with the world we inhabit.
