About Massimiliano
Massimiliano Cattafi is a counsellor who helps people untangle confusion and take clearer steps forward. He focuses on making sense of what matters so clients can act in ways that fit their values and goals. He works with individuals who are dealing with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.
He also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical. Massimiliano listens for patterns and offers straightforward reflections. Together with each client he looks for small, manageable changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
He brings six years of counselling experience to his work and follows the ethical framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means he follows agreed professional standards in his practice. Massimiliano speaks English and Italian and sees people in the United Kingdom.
He offers a mix of live sessions and text-based options so people can choose the way of working that fits their life. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.

Online support
Another frequently used method looks at attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and emotional safety. That approach helps people who struggle with abandonment, commitment issues, or feeling isolated to notice repeated dynamics and try different responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays focused on what they need.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a deeper conversational feel, phone calls work well with limited bandwidth, and text options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines while keeping continuity of care.
