Michele Scarano, BACP

Michele Scarano helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or struggling with relationships and self-esteem. He supports those facing life changes and those dealing with social anxiety, attachment difficulties and communication problems. Michele's first aim is to make beginning therapy easier for someone who may feel unsure about taking that step.

He brings seven years of professional experience in the UK and abroad. Living and working in eight countries, including Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and the USA, shaped his interest in multicultural perspectives. That experience informs how he listens and responds to different backgrounds and ways of thinking.

Michele aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical conversation and building small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life. He encourages clients to set realistic goals and to notice small changes between sessions.

His approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Michele works alongside people to clarify what matters most to them and to find useful ways of coping. He explains ideas simply and checks in about what feels helpful as therapy progresses.

People who prefer working with a bilingual counsellor can speak with him in English or Italian. If you want to explore whether he is a good match, use the Start Therapy pathway on the site to begin the short matching process.

How evidence-based techniques translate online

Michele uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach helps people learn to notice anxious or negative thoughts and to try different responses. This approach can be useful for stress, social anxiety and low mood by teaching simple skills to test worry and change unhelpful patterns.

Another helpful way he may use involves working with attachment and communication patterns. This means looking at how past relationships shape current responses and trying new ways of relating that are more effective. It can help with relationship strain, difficulty trusting others, or trouble saying what you need.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss different methods and decide with each person what fits their goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and reviewed as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the specific session formats before booking. Confirming helps you pick what fits your routine and needs. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while speaking or video options can suit different comfort levels and practical needs.
