Philosophy & Values

Dr Bonoldi has a deep respect and genuine interest in people’s unique personal stories and suffering from their own point of view. She treats patients’ privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Offering a non-judgmental approach, empathic understanding and a professional yet warm support.

She strives to identify and strengthen personal resilience and deeply believes that when suffering is not denied, but faced with the right support, it can even become an enriching human experience.

She has a holistic understanding of mind and body and aims to support the person as a whole.

She always involves her patients in decisions regarding their treatment and discusses with them the pros and cons of possible management strategies, including medications, which she only offers when clinically indicated, after careful assessments of potential risks and benefits.

As an example of her philosophy and values, you can access two scientific articles that she has co-written with patients and their caregivers on their lived experience of suffering with mental disorders. These studies have been published in the top psychiatric journal worldwide.
