About Ciro
Ciro De Pau uses a mix of attachment-based, client-centred and cognitive approaches to help people who feel stuck by anxiety, stress or difficult life changes. He is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Italian. Ciro holds NCPS credentials and has nine years of counselling experience.
He helps people who struggle with low self-esteem, sleep problems, grief, trauma and substance-related issues. He also supports those facing eating difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar mood challenges and the emotional effects of ADHD.
How Ciro works
Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency and relationship communication problems. In sessions he pays attention to how past relationships and current patterns shape day-to-day life. He combines talking therapies with practical techniques aimed at reducing anxiety and improving mood.
The aim is to make changes that feel manageable and realistic for each person. Ciro draws on a variety of therapeutic models rather than one single method. He uses client-centred listening to understand what matters to the person, attachment ideas to explore relationship patterns, and cognitive tools to challenge unhelpful thinking.
Motivational interviewing and existential ideas also influence his work when people face big choices or feel stuck in meaning. People can meet him by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in both English and Italian.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. In online work this helps people understand repetitive patterns that affect intimacy, trust and reactions to stress. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and the person’s own goals. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can explore what they really need and make decisions that suit them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behaviour. It can reduce anxiety and improve sleep by teaching manageable techniques people can practise between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working. Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through flexible formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions suit those who need less bandwidth or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people work in writing, pace sessions differently and fit support around busy schedules or different time zones.Start online instead of waiting
