Ciro De Pau uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches to help people make real changes in everyday life. He is a counsellor who offers sessions in English and Italian and works from the United Kingdom. Ciro has nine years of practical experience supporting people through common and complex problems.

He focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns, and on how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and practical. People leave sessions with clearer choices and small steps to try between meetings. Ciro helps with stress, anxiety and depression, and with trauma and abuse.

He also supports people dealing with addiction, sleep problems, low self-esteem and eating concerns. Relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD and parenting pressures are also within his scope. He pays attention to attachment wounds, abandonment and codependency, and to how neurodiversity such as autism or Asperger syndrome affects daily life.

He is experienced with kink and alternative sex culture, body image problems, dissociation and the effects of domestic violence. Across nine years he has combined university training with practical counselling work. He uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when these fit the client’s needs.

Sessions aim to be collaborative, paced to the individual, and focused on practical ways to feel less overwhelmed.

How Ciro’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. Online sessions let people talk about these patterns and try new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and values; the counsellor follows the client’s lead and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ciro will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change during therapy as needs and priorities shift, and he adapts the focus to what proves most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat for quicker exchanges and text-based messaging for short check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family or travel and to continue therapy when circumstances change.
