Ciro De Pau, NCPS

Ciro De Pau is a therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers sessions in English and Italian. He works with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck and aims to help them understand the patterns that keep problems repeating. Ciro emphasises a practical, person-focused way of working so people can make changes that matter in everyday life.

He pays attention to how past experiences shape current behaviour. Ciro also looks at the link between the body and the brain to make sense of stress, sleep problems and strong emotions. This approach helps people who struggle with anxiety, low mood, trauma, addiction and intimacy-related issues, among other concerns.

Ciro combines talking therapy with clear tools and strategies. He draws on client-centred ideas to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and attachment-based ideas to explore relationship patterns.

Over nine years he has worked with people facing a wide range of difficulties, including eating problems, bipolar symptoms, grief, ADHD and substance issues. He also lists additional focus areas such as attachment wounds, body image, and BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture.

Ciro holds the NCPS credential and says his learning comes from university study and direct counselling experience. He invites potential clients to consider what they need and to make contact if they want to explore how therapy might help.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It looks at connection styles and helps people notice how these patterns affect stress and intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session and prioritises empathic listening to help someone find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviours that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ciro will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a way of working together. This collaborative process helps tailor the mix of listening, exploration and practical tools to what feels most useful.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during work breaks. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid video if that feels better, helping therapy fit around everyday routines rather than the other way around.
