About Ciro
Ciro De Pau is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people facing anxiety, stress and phobias. He speaks English and Italian and is based in the United Kingdom. Ciro draws on different methods to match what each person needs in the room.
Ciro pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. He also looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and how these affect mood and daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and practical, focused on small changes a person can try between meetings. He has nine years of experience working with issues such as trauma, depression, addiction and eating concerns. Ciro also supports people dealing with attachment problems, shame, anger and difficulties around intimacy and identity.
He explains things plainly and avoids jargon so people can follow along. In sessions Ciro helps people recognise repeating patterns, name their needs and set realistic steps forward. He uses evidence-informed ideas from attachment work, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred practice.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with tasks people can use in day-to-day life. People choose Ciro when they want a calm, curious counsellor who asks questions and listens closely. He offers a straightforward process to begin therapy, with online session formats that fit different lifestyles.
If someone wants support to handle anxiety, sleep problems or grief, he can explain options and plan the next steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present emotions and behaviours; it helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how to build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical strategies to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life context, then suggest approaches to try together. Sessions are collaborative and can be adjusted as work progresses to find what helps most.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit short check-ins or people with lower bandwidth, and text-based options work well for brief reflections or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or family routines, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals.
