Clara Moisello, PhD
Empathic Communication and Needs Awareness
Training & Consulting
A Warm Welcome!
I'm Clara, and I'm so glad you're here.
I am a neuroscientist, trainer, and facilitator dedicated to helping individuals and organizations cultivate empathic communication and needs awareness. I love creating spaces where people can learn practical, powerful ways to connect — with themselves and with each other — so they can build relationships that feel nourishing and alive.
The quality of our relationships is everything. Our networks of care and trust shape our health and wellbeing more than any material resource — yet most of us never learn how to tend to them well. When our connections suffer — at home, at work, or within ourselves — it ripples everywhere.
Building strong relationships requires both inner awareness and interpersonal skills — the ability to stay grounded, listen deeply, and communicate with clarity and care. That’s where my work comes in.
I offer warm spaces, practical tools and clear, gentle guidance — grounded in Nonviolent Communication, needs awareness and relational neuroscience. My hope is to help you understand yourself more deeply, build trust and connection with others, and tap into your wisdom and creativity to help shape a kinder, more wonderful world.
What I Offer
Building on the foundations of Nonviolent Communication, Emotional Intelligence and Needs Awareness, I design and facilitate learning experiences that bring these skills alive for individuals, groups, and organizations — grounded in needs awareness, relational neuroscience, and real-life practice.
Mentoring & Coaching
Personalized support for individuals, seeking greater awareness, compassion, and choice in their relationships and everyday lives.
Mentoring and coaching are spaces for reflection, understanding, and integration — a time to slow down and reconnect with what your inner clarity and choice.
Each session blends curiosity, compassion, and structure — helping you uncover what’s happening beneath the surface, articulate needs with clarity, and move toward choices that feel grounded and alive.
Mentoring and coaching can support you if you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and wanting to reconnect with clarity and direction; seeking more honesty and understanding in your relationship with yourself or others; navigating conflict, boundaries, or life transitions with greater awareness and care; or looking to integrate empathy, needs awareness, or emotional intelligence more fully into your professional life as a facilitator, educator, or helping professional.
Each session is tailored to your situation — balancing insight with practice and reflection.
Public Workshops and Trainings
Experiential spaces for learning, connection, and real-life integration
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is at the heart of how I teach and practice. As a lead trainer with the New York Center for Nonviolent Communication (NYCNVC), I offer a structured learning path—both in person and online—that blends theory, experiential practice, and real-life application in a warm, supportive setting.
NVC is a framework for navigating relationships with empathy, awareness, and care. Central to this approach is an understanding of human needs—the universal forces that shape our actions and connect us to one another. Cultivating needs awareness opens pathways for compassion, clarity, and collaboration.
For over a decade, I’ve contributed to developing and delivering NYCNVC’s core curriculum, guiding participants from their first introduction to NVC toward a deeper, embodied integration of empathy and needs awareness.
Organizational Training and Consulting
Building Empathic, Collaborative, and Emotionally Intelligent Workplaces
Empathy, needs awareness, and emotional intelligence are foundations of effective collaboration, leadership, and innovation. I support organizations in strengthening communication, building trust, and creating environments where people can think clearly, speak honestly, and work together with care. My approach integrates neuroscience, needs awareness, and practical communication tools to address both the human and systemic dimensions of work.
Each engagement begins with listening. I collaborate with teams and leaders to understand their challenges and strengths, then design experiences that support immediate communication needs and longer-term cultural shifts. This work is based on the 3×3 Empathy Factors® model, a framework developed by Marie Miyashiro, an internationally recognized author and consultant in empathy-based organizational development.
