Ciro De Pau, NCPS

Ciro De Pau is a counsellor who draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He works in English and Italian and is based in the United Kingdom. He has nine years of experience and holds NCPS as a credential.

Ciro listens for patterns in how people relate and how old hurts still shape present choices. He pays attention to both psychological dynamics and the body’s response to stress. This helps when people struggle with anxiety, low mood, trauma, sleep problems, or issues with intimacy and relationships including jealousy.

Sessions focus on practical change as well as understanding. Ciro will help identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and then try out small, manageable steps to shift them. He uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside exploration of personal history and values to tailor each session.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns, from addiction and eating issues to anger, ADHD and grief. He also supports those exploring identity, kink and attachment wounds. His approach mixes listening, reflection and goal-focused work so people can move forward at their own pace.

When you first make contact, he aims to understand what matters most to you and what you want to change. The work is collaborative and paced to your needs. If you want to learn more about how sessions run, Ciro invites you to begin the process and discuss the best way to proceed.

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps by looking at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections; it is useful for people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship cycles. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering a non-judgemental space to talk through what feels hard and to clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will check in about what you want to achieve and suggest ways of working that suit your goals and preferences. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins if needed. They also make regular sessions more practical for people living abroad, since he accepts international clients. Discussing logistics at the start helps find arrangements that suit your day-to-day life.
