About Ciro
Ciro De Pau is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers sessions in English and Italian. He draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression and relationship issues. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through and start making small, sustainable changes.
Ciro pays attention to how past experiences shape present behaviour. He listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and daily choices, and looks at how those patterns affect mood and wellbeing.
Background and approach
He also considers how the body and brain respond to stress, which can help with sleep problems and persistent worry. Sessions are shaped around each person. Ciro uses ideas from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred practice to match what a person needs.
He supports people dealing with trauma, addiction, low self-esteem, grief and identity concerns, among other issues. Over nine years he has worked with people facing complex difficulties, including dissociation, eating and food-related problems, and co-occurring mental health challenges. His experience includes supporting people through anger, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles and intimacy-related concerns.
He explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions. If you want to explore how therapy might help, Ciro invites you to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if it feels right.

Online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement. The counsellor follows your pace and reflects what you say, helping you find your own answers for issues like low self-esteem or life changes.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps you spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. In online sessions CBT can be used to tackle anxiety, sleep problems and low mood through practical exercises and small experiments between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. The counsellor will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods together to see what fits. This keeps the process collaborative and goal-focused.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging works for regular short reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
