"I set out thinking I just had to walk. I came back with a sense of direction I hadn't had in years. Barbara knew how to listen without ever pushing: the right pace, every time, was mine."

Welcome to Counseling in Cammino
Before you, nature opens like a living path — a simple, honest place where you can breathe and find yourself again. Here you can arrive just as you are: with what you feel, with what moves you, with what has long been asking for space.
Discover the projectAbout me
I'm Barbara, an Educational Counselor specialized in Walking Therapy. I learned to accompany people through delicate moments in very different roles: in flight, in financial consulting, in water.
Since 2017, walking has become my natural home: the Camino de Santiago, the Via Francigena, the Way of St. Francis. Today I bring all of this experience into counseling, in a presence that unites body, nature and word.
What is counseling
Counseling is a helping relationship centered on the present. It helps bring clarity, restore balance, and give voice to what you feel. It's grounded in active listening, empathy, respectful communication and mindful presence.
It's a safe space where you can explore emotions, thoughts, choices and directions. A place where you can look at what you're living with more calm and more truth.
What is Counseling in Cammino
It's the heart of my project. Here, movement makes the difference: walking becomes part of the relationship, a language that opens, releases and guides.
Walking side by side allows you to
- ease tension
- spark new thoughts
- notice what's happening within and around you
- rediscover authenticity
- let emotions and intuitions flow
- speak freely, without feeling exposed
Nature supports, the step brings clarity, the breath widens. If your goal is a bigger walk — Santiago, the Francigena, the spiritual routes — we'll prepare for it together, with attention, presence and care.
When the body moves, the mind finds a new rhythm too.
Counseling and walking, together
Walking becomes a tool: a slow movement that opens, clarifies, orients. Counseling becomes a guide: a presence that welcomes, supports, gives shape.
No path is ever truly walked alone.
Who has walked with me
"I'd never done counseling before, it felt like a distant world. Walking while I talked took away the awkwardness: things came out on their own, without effort."
Donatella C.
Age 52 · Via Francigena
"I was looking for someone to help me prepare technically for the walk, and I found much more. The outdoor sessions changed the way I face difficult things, not just the trekking."

"At 60, I didn't think a forest could still teach me something about myself. With Barbara I found a rhythm I had lost, and the courage to start again."

"I'm a practical guy, skeptical of big words. There weren't any here: just steps, silences and the right questions at the right time. It helped me more than a lot of talking."
