Dario De Gaetanis, NCPS

Dario De Gaetanis offers a mindfulness-rooted counselling style that centres on present-moment awareness and gentle self-inquiry. He blends body-awareness practices with talk therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and he practises from the United Kingdom. Dario holds NCPS and brings 14 years of professional experience to his work.

He uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ideas help with emotional regulation and coping skills. He also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy and Internal Family Systems to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and self-view.

Main concerns he addresses include depression, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, workplace stress and career questions. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image and seasonal mood changes.

Dario integrates mindfulness from Buddhist practice and Vipassana meditation into sessions when clients find that approach helpful. He often uses somatic and body-based awareness exercises alongside conversation to access deeper emotion and self-regulation. This practical mix lets clients work with both thought and bodily response.

Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful habits, explore life changes and build coping strategies. The work is collaborative - goals and pace are set together. People come away with clearer self-understanding and tools to manage everyday challenges.

How mindfulness and skills-based therapy work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation and the counsellor follows. Online sessions let that kind of open listening continue over video or voice, with time for reflective exercises and gentle questions.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy emphasises practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping. When used online, DBT-style techniques can be taught with short exercises, breathing practices and step-by-step skills coaching that suit video, phone or text formats.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they choose methods - for example mindfulness practices, somatic awareness or skills training - and adjust them as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins and text messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and let people use the format that best matches their daily routine and comfort.
