Paolo De Luca is a psychodynamic psychotherapist with eight years of clinical experience. He offers individual therapy in English and Italian and works with adults from varied backgrounds. Paolo aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.

He sees many concerns including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, and problems with self-esteem. He also supports people facing addiction, grief, eating issues, anger, bipolar mood challenges, panic attacks and personality-related struggles.

Background and approach

Additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, dissociation, family of origin problems and issues with control or dependency. In sessions Paolo listens closely and helps people notice patterns in their feelings and relationships. He encourages gentle reflection on current problems and on underlying themes that can shape behaviour.

The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Paolo offers open-ended psychotherapy when that suits the person, and adapts the pace and focus according to progress. He provides sessions online and can meet in person when appropriate; arrangements are discussed at an initial consultation.

Paolo accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Paolo is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. This registration appears alongside his clinical practice in the United Kingdom and is listed as BACP in his credentials.

How Paolo's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens with empathy and follows the client’s agenda, which can help when discussing relationship troubles, stress or issues with self-esteem.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that run beneath day-to-day difficulties. It helps people understand recurring feelings, relational patterns and how past experiences shape current behaviour, which can be useful for trauma, attachment concerns and personality-related struggles.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Paolo works with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the methods used as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to whether someone needs a focused short-term plan or longer open-ended work.

Online therapy offers practical ways to take part. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions suit times with low bandwidth or when being off-camera helps someone relax. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins or a way to share thoughts between calls. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
