SERENA L. COLOMBO

After 15 years of experience in marketing and innovation consulting, I chose to reconnect with my lifelong passion: psychology, the field in which I originally studied.

​

I trained in the Neurocognitive and Behavioral Approach (NCA) in order to develop my skills as a psychologist, supporting individuals facing challenges such as emotional regulation, loss of meaning, or a desire for change.

​

Motivated by a wish to contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate society, I went on to pursue a PhD in Psychology and Cognitive Sciences at Sapienza University of Rome. My research focused on the psychological factors that influence people's ability to transform themselves in the face of major contemporary crises, particularly the environmental crisis. I defended my thesis in January 2025, with honours, on the relationship between self-regulation, mindfulness, and pro-environmental engagement.

​

In parallel, I am currently completing a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at the Catholic University of Louvain, with the aim of deepening my clinical expertise and offering more comprehensive, sensitive, and tailored support to each individual.

​

Today, I divide my time between private practice as a psychologist and academic research.
This dual role—as clinician and researcher—shapes an approach that is both scientifically grounded and deeply human, supporting meaningful, lasting personal change aligned with each person’s values and context.
