About Ciro
Ciro De Pau is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people find clearer ways forward. He works in both English and Italian and practices in the United Kingdom. Ciro draws on relational and evidence-informed methods to address stress, anxiety, depression and other struggles that can make daily life harder.
Ciro pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. He also looks at how the body and brain affect mood and behaviour.
Background and approach
This means sessions often cover feelings, thoughts, and practical habits together so clients can see connections and try new responses. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. He listens for recurring themes such as attachment wounds, codependency and difficulties with intimacy.
He then helps people set small, achievable goals to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence. Ciro has nine years of experience working with trauma, eating and addiction issues, mood disorders and identity questions. His work combines psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive-behavioural ideas depending on what each person needs in the moment.
People who come for support may be dealing with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, or relationship and communication problems. Ciro aims to make conversations straightforward and useful, so clients leave sessions with practical things to try between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses. It helps people understand repeated behaviours in relationships and build more supported ways of relating. Client-centred therapy places the person at the centre of the work, using reflective listening and empathy to help someone feel heard and make their own changes. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce anxiety and lift mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then work together to try approaches and adjust as needed. This collaborative way ensures the method fits the person's needs rather than being fixed from the start.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need ongoing, brief touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel without losing continuity of care.
