About Dario

Dario De Gaetanis uses mindfulness as the centrepiece of his counselling. He blends body awareness, meditation practice and talking therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. He speaks English and Italian and works from a background in psychology and counselling. Dario holds the NCPS credential and has 14 years of experience.

Dario's sessions aim to create a simple space to speak and be heard without rush. He invites people to notice bodily sensations and emotions as they arise. That somatic focus is used alongside conversational work to reach feelings that are often pushed down.

He draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic ideas. These approaches are woven into mindfulness practice so that tools for emotional regulation sit next to exploration of life patterns and relationships. Sessions can include gentle attention exercises as well as reflective dialogue.

Dario has worked in school-based emotional support and brings practical experience with caregiving and workplace stress to sessions. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and addictions, and those questioning life direction or coping with long-term conditions such as cancer.

The goal is straightforward: help people find steadier ways to manage mood, improve self-understanding and rebuild clearer routines. He encourages learning small practices that fit into daily life, not large or rigid programmes. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How mindfulness and therapy work online

Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without judgement. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress and difficulty managing strong emotions by building steady attention and simple daily practices.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a space where the person feels heard and accepted. It supports self-exploration and helps people find their own solutions through empathic listening and reflective conversation.

Dario aims to find the right combination of approaches with each person. He works collaboratively to shape sessions around the client's needs, goals and comfort. That means adjusting pace, mixing skills training with reflective work, and introducing body-based awareness when it suits the client.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work with a counsellor when living abroad or moving between locations. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide whether online sessions will suit your goals and routines.
