​This course helps psychologists, therapists, and helping professionals transfer their existing knowledge into English smoothly and confidently. Together, we explore how language shapes your approach — and how you can keep your authentic professional voice while adjusting naturally to English.

​Core Principles

  • Transfer, not replace: you already have the knowledge — I help you carry it into English.
  • Smooth transition: avoiding clunky translation, instead finding natural flow.
  • Awareness of differences: noticing how English phrasing might sound softer, more direct, or more neutral than in your first language.
  • Authenticity in both languages: keeping your warmth, boundaries, and professional presence while communicating in English.

Practical Outcome

​By the end of the course, you will be better able to:
  • Guide client conversations in English while keeping your sensitivity and empathy.
  • Lead workshops or group sessions in English with more natural phrasing and confidence.
  • Explain agreements, boundaries, therapy goals, and strategies in clear, professional English.
  • Share your expertise at conferences or professional discussions in a way that feels authentic, not stiff or pushy.
LANGUAGE LEVEL
The minimum recommended language level for this course is B1+. This is not a general English course — instead, it is designed to help you use and transfer your existing professional knowledge and skills into English with confidence.
Why the idea of the course?
My journey into this area started some time ago, when I studied psychology — a path I later decided not to complete. Still, my curiosity about people and the way we think, feel, and grow never left me. Over time, I continued to build my knowledge through different courses: I completed a program in positive psychology, a course on personalities with Jordan Peterson, and most recently, a certification in horticultural therapy.
These subjects are close to my heart, and I see them not only as personal passions but also as part of my professional development. Every year, I continue to explore new areas connected to human wellbeing and communication. While I am not a psychologist or therapist, my role is to support professionals in these fields in transferring their knowledge into English — smoothly, confidently, and in a way that reflects the sensitivity their work requires.
THE NAME ORIGIN
Affogato translates to "drowned" in Italian and is one of the simplest desserts you can create. It's a big scoop of vanilla ice cream with a hot espresso shot poured over it.

What we’ll focus on ​

​This is the basic framework, but your input as a participant shapes the course. Depending on what you bring to the table and what you most need to practice, we will adjust the focus — so the course develops around your goals and the skills you want to strengthen.

  • Discussing therapy paths: talking about goals, strategies, and different types of therapy in simple but professional language.
  • Client communication: guiding 1:1 sessions with sensitivity, empathy, and natural phrasing.
  • Workshops and group facilitation: leading group activities, inviting participation, and handling discussions smoothly in English.
  • Presenting your expertise: introducing yourself, your method, and your ideas at conferences or professional events without losing authenticity.
