One discipline, two worlds of practice

Every engagement draws on a single core competence — the applied psychology of learning and development. It is directed either to families and individuals, or to organisations and institutions.

Professional background

Dr. Sonia Cantatore has experience working within multidisciplinary teams involved in ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) — a structured, evidence-based educational approach -based intervention programmes, and has provided support as a home-based therapist in educational and developmental settings. This experience has contributed to the development of practical parent training approaches focused on strengthening parenting skills, promoting effective communication strategies, supporting children's autonomy, and fostering positive family relationships.

Drawing on her background in psychology, education and human development, she provides guidance and support to parents seeking evidence-informed strategies to address everyday educational and developmental challenges.

Approach & boundaries

  • Collaborative

    Families are partners in the process, never recipients of instructions.

  • Educational

    The focus is educational and developmental support, not clinical treatment.

  • Evidence-informed

    Strategies are grounded in current research on learning and development.

  • Ethical

    Clear professional scope, confidentiality and referral when another specialism is needed.

Talk it through

Family and educational consultations can be arranged in Italian or English, remotely or in person. A short introductory conversation is the easiest place to start.
