Ciro De Pau, NCPS

Ciro De Pau uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings and patterns. He works in English and Italian and brings nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He aims to help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and sleep problems. He also helps with trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and intimacy-related issues, and low self-esteem. Work can cover relationship concerns, grief, anger, bipolar conditions and the effects of ADHD. Ciro pays attention to how early relationships shape current behaviour. He also considers how the brain and body respond to stress. This combination helps him spot repeating patterns and unhelpful coping strategies. Sessions are shaped around the person rather than a single technique. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, existential thinking, motivational interviewing and narrative ideas when useful. Conversations aim to clarify goals and identify small steps towards change. People can expect a calm, collaborative space to talk through past hurts and present struggles. Ciro helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of responding and build skills to manage emotions. He works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and body image concerns. Practical matters are handled simply: sessions are available in video calls, phone, live chat or messaging. Ciro accepts international clients and offers a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It helps when patterns of mistrust, fear of abandonment or difficulty with intimacy keep repeating. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to help people find their own answers and make changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or unhelpful behaviours. Each approach offers a different way to understand problems and build new responses. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the client’s goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. Conversations in early sessions will clarify priorities and agree on small, manageable steps to try. Online therapy offers flexibility in how people attend sessions. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and more visual cues, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement or those who prefer writing rather than talking. Many registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible across time zones and lifestyles. The variety of options helps people fit therapy into work, study and family commitments, and supports those who cannot travel to in-person appointments.
