Michele Scarano, BACP

Michele Scarano helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, depression and major life changes. He also focuses on attachment difficulties, communication problems and social anxiety or phobia. Michele works in English and Italian and has seven years of professional experience in the UK and abroad.

Michele uses a straightforward, warm style in sessions. He aims to make the room feel calm and non-judgemental so people can talk honestly about what is worrying them. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer ways to manage difficult feelings.

He has lived and worked in eight countries including Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United States. That international background shapes how he thinks about culture, identity and different ways of coping. Michele draws on those experiences when helping people untangle patterns that affect their mood and relationships.

Sessions typically explore how early attachment and communication habits influence current difficulties. Michele helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes to improve connection and confidence. He values short-term practical work as well as deeper reflection when it feels right.

People who come to Michele will find a calm, direct counsellor who listens and suggests clear options. He encourages gradual steps and checks in about progress. The aim is to leave sessions with tools to manage stress and build stronger ways of relating.

Practical approaches and online access

Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and interpersonal patterns. One common approach is working on attachment-related patterns - this involves looking at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, which can help with relationship strain and trust issues.

He also uses methods that target social anxiety and phobic responses by gradually facing feared situations and building small successes. This kind of step-by-step work aims to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in social settings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Michele will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims and review progress together. He adapts the work over time so the approach meets what the client needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life while keeping a steady therapeutic course.
