Dario De Gaetanis uses mindfulness at the centre of his counselling. He blends awareness practices with talking therapy to help people notice thoughts, bodily sensations and emotional patterns. He speaks English and Italian and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

He has 14 years of experience and holds an NCPS credential. He brings together Client-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Psychodynamic ideas and Internal Family Systems with mindfulness-based approaches.

Background and approach

Sessions often include simple body-awareness exercises alongside conversation. In practical terms he helps people manage stress, anxiety and anger. He also supports work on self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief and trauma.

Other areas he addresses include addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping concerns, career stress and ADHD. Dario also pays attention to attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, caregiver stress and workplace problems. He uses mindfulness and somatic practices to help people notice where feelings are held in the body and to develop calmer responses.

This can make it easier to stay present and make different choices. Sessions aim to create a calm space for people to talk and to practise new ways of responding. He offers a straightforward approach that mixes listening, reflective work and practical exercises.

The goal is to build tools people can use between sessions.

Mindfulness and skills-based therapy online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room and on accepting and understanding their experience. It helps people feel heard and to explore their own values and choices. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships and reducing self-destructive reactions. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and can reduce reactivity by teaching simple awareness practices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs and goals and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can include short experiments in sessions to see what feels most useful, and adjustments are made as progress is observed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow a more immersive conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or when a written record helps reflection. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments and help people keep regular contact between appointments.
