Staff Profile

Dr Ferdinando
Salamino

Faculty of Health, Education and Society

I graduated in Clinical Psychology in Turin in 2001 and was awarded a PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2006 by the University of Milan Bicocca. I qualified as a Systemic Therapist at the European Institute of Systemic-relational Therapist, where I still collaborate as a resident trainer.

After over 10 years of clinical practice I moved on to the UK to teach at the University of Northampton, where I became Course Leader for the MSc Counselling with Children and Young People. After leading the startup of the Systemic Family Therapy program for the IAPT collaborative board in 2017, I got back to CCYP, which I currently lead.

I also work as a therapist at Broad Horizons Clinical Services in Moulton, UK, mostly with adoptive families.

When I am not teaching or doing therapy, I write thriller novels, published in Italy by Golem Publishers and currently awaiting translation.
Ferdinando teaches Counselling, Systemic Family Therapy and all matters relevant to clinical psychology and psychotherapy.
My research interests cover most topics associated with assessment and treatment of psychological disorders in children, young people and adults. I have developed a particular interest in adoption-related matters and in family structures and dynamics.
