About me

My name is Marcello Real and I am a Marriage & Family Therapist (MFT) living in Bornholm, Denmark - I see clients online and in person for all types of life issues. I also teach yoga & meditation, both of which have given me many physical and psychological benefits and which I've seen have helped many people. Consequently, my approach to life, counseling, and teaching yoga/meditation is holistic, compassionate, awareness-based and all about self-empowerment.

Professionally trained in the U.S. with a Master's degree in Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT) from the University of Oregon at Eugene, which has been verified by the "Ministeriet for Forskning, Innovation og Videregående" as the Danish equivalent of a "Kandidat grad i psykologi" degree. I also have a Bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I learned yoga and meditation in India and Nepal in December 1999 and early 2000 where these incredible life improving ancient techniques originated many thousands of years ago.

Since the early 1990's I have lived in and visited many different countries and cultures, which has really broadened my cultural perspectives and life experience.  This, combined with 10,000+ hours of practicing and teaching meditation and yoga (since 1999), has given me a holistic understanding of human psychology, cultivating in me a straightforward, natural and pragmatic approach to mental health and life.

• Counseling Online & In Person in Bornholm - For Individuals and Couples.  A relaxed, sincere, hospitable, intuitive, compassionate and non-judgmental therapeutic experience, to help clients see their difficulties from various perspectives and get new ideas and inspirations that have the potential to lead to transformative changes.
• Hatha Yoga - This 5,000+ year old ancient tradition helps to relieve stress and emotional pain that is held in the body, nervous system and mind.  I teach it in a gentle and meditative manner which helps to increase your present moment awareness, while at the same time improving your energy levels, health, comfort within your own skin, and general well-being.  Yoga helped me to get rid of many aches and pains I had been experiencing, and dramatically improved my flexibility and mental health.  The yogic breathing techniques (pranayama) also helped me overcome the bronchitis I had suffered since childhood.
• Meditation - I teach meditation in a simple and clear way, with no spiritual mumbo jumbo, just a focus on increasing one's awareness and lowering one's reactivity to events, emotions, situations.
• Regressions - A regression is a gentle and relaxing method for exploring one's deeper inner reality, with the ego turned down, to get answers to alleviate problems in our lives.  Everyone has great wisdom inside, it's just a matter of learning how to access it. A regression involves going into a deeply relaxed state to get answers from your own super-consciousness for such questions as:

  “What can I do to be less stressed and more happy?”
  “What is the purpose of my life?”
  “Why do I keep attracting the same kind of partner again and again?”
  “What is the cause of friction between me and ________?”
  “Why do I feel stuck in my life and what can I do about it?”
  “How can I overcome my self-esteem issues?”
  “What’s holding me back?”
  “What can I do to get my creativity to flow again?”
   And other questions you need answers for...
