About Ciro
Ciro De Pau is a counsellor who works in English and Italian and practises in the United Kingdom. He aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by worry, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or challenged by stress and low mood. He explains things plainly and helps clients take practical steps toward clearer emotional balance.
Ciro pays attention to both behaviour and the body. He looks at unconscious patterns alongside how the brain and nervous system respond to stress.
Background and approach
That mix helps him make sense of anxiety, depression, trauma and related problems in everyday language. In sessions he uses a blend of psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioural ideas to match what each person needs. He works with people to identify unhelpful habits, recognise the roots of distress, and try new ways of coping.
The focus is on small, achievable changes that fit real life. Clients can expect a collaborative working style. Ciro listens for what matters most, then shapes the therapy to those goals.
He draws on nine years of experience and his NCPS credential to guide the work he does with individuals. People come to him for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, addictions, sleep problems, eating issues, ADHD and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. He also supports those navigating grief, gender and sexual identity questions, and other life changes.
To begin, people are invited to consider what they most want to change and to reach out to find out more about how he might help.

How Ciro's approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now. It helps people who feel insecure, stuck in repeating relationship patterns, or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's perspective first and creates space for them to lead the conversation; it supports people who need a non-judgemental place to make sense of feelings and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can shift as needs change over time.
For practical matters, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to speak in the language you prefer, such as English or Italian. Ask about scheduling and format options when you make contact so you can find a setup that fits your routine.
