About Dario
Dario De Gaetanis is a counsellor who uses mindfulness at the heart of his work. He brings 14 years of experience and the NCPS credential to sessions offered in English and Italian. Dario blends talking and body-based practices so people can feel heard and learn practical ways to manage low mood and stress.
He describes mindfulness counselling as an approach rooted in both Western psychology and ancient Buddhist practice. Sessions combine client-centred ways of listening with techniques from psychodynamic work, Internal Family Systems and DBT.
Background and approach
Dario also draws on somatic exercises to help people notice where they hold tension and emotion in the body. In practical terms he helps people build emotional awareness and better regulate strong feelings like anger, anxiety and grief. He supports people facing life changes, workplace stress, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, eating or sleeping problems, and depression.
He also offers help around attachment, body image, caregiver strain and seasonal mood shifts. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Dario aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings are welcomed without judgement.
Over time he works with clients to find inner resources and develop coping skills they can use between sessions. People who value present-moment awareness alongside reflective discussion often find this mix useful. Dario seeks to work collaboratively, helping people make steady changes that support daily functioning and wellbeing.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques and adjust the mix based on what works best for the individual. This collaborative stance lets clients test methods and shape their own path through therapy.
Online sessions offer flexibility across formats: video calls for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow people to maintain continuity even when schedules change.
