Joaquim Buttigli
Psychological Coach & Art Therapist
Clarity begins when you give yourself space to see what is really going on.
I support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or at a crossroads in their lives. My work combines psychological coaching, therapeutic approaches, and art-based methods to help you better understand yourself, navigate difficult transitions, and create meaningful change.
With a background spanning psychology, clinical experience, coaching, entrepreneurship, and abstract expressionist art, I bring together analytical thinking and creative exploration. My approach is both structured and intuitive: we look at what is happening in your life, explore the patterns beneath it, and find practical ways forward.
From Overwhelm to Clarity and Confidence
Life can challenge us in ways that affect our motivation, relationships, work, and sense of self. I work with clients experiencing challenges such as:
- Stress & Burnout — restoring balance, energy, and resilience
- Anxiety, Low Mood & Loss of Motivation — understanding what is holding you back and reconnecting with what matters
- Life Transitions & Loss — finding stability and direction during periods of change, separation, divorce, or grief
- Relationships & Communication — developing greater self-awareness and healthier patterns
- Self-Confidence & Personal Development — building a stronger sense of self and moving toward your potential
- High Sensitivity & Neurodiversity — developing strategies that work with, rather than against, the way you experience the world
My aim is not to give you ready-made answers. Instead, I create a space where you can understand, explore, and develop your own answers.
Psychology Meets Art
As an abstract expressionist artist and art therapist, I offer a creative dimension that goes beyond conversation.
Sometimes, what we experience cannot easily be explained in words. Art can give shape to emotions, thoughts, conflicts, and experiences that are difficult to articulate. Through colour, form, movement, and imagery, we can explore your inner world from a different perspective.
You do not need to be an artist, and there is no need for artistic experience. The focus is not on creating a beautiful picture—it is on discovering what your creative process can reveal about you.
Experience, Psychology & an Intercultural Perspective
My professional journey combines more than 16 years of psychological coaching with 24 years of entrepreneurial and leadership experience. I have also gained clinical experience in a psychiatric setting in Zurich.
As an M.Sc. candidate in Psychology with a focus on Clinical Psychology and Counseling, I continue to deepen my understanding of psychological processes and evidence-informed approaches.
Having worked with people from 86 different nations, I bring a naturally intercultural perspective to my work. I believe that every person has a unique history, context, and way of experiencing the world—and that effective support begins with understanding the individual rather than forcing them into a predefined framework.
