About Dario
Dario De Gaetanis is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 14 years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, anger and related concerns, and supports people coping with life changes, grief, addiction and workplace strain. Sessions are conducted in English and Italian and he accepts international clients.
Dario bases much of his practice on mindfulness. He draws on Buddhist Dharma and Vipassana meditation to help people increase awareness of their thoughts and bodily reactions. That focus is combined with talking therapy, so clients learn skills as well as time to reflect.
He uses a mix of methods from Client-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside psychodynamic ideas. This blend is used to address emotional regulation, recurring patterns, and founding issues such as attachment and shame. Practical exercises and simple mindfulness practices are often part of sessions.
Dario also brings somatic awareness into his counselling, helping people notice how emotions show up in the body. Short body-based techniques are introduced to support self-regulation and to complement verbal work. This can make strong feelings easier to work with in session.
People seeking to manage anger, to reduce anxiety, or to find clearer direction in career and relationships may find the practical emphasis useful. He asks people to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a first session to begin.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dario combines Client-Centred work with DBT and mindfulness practices in ways that transfer well to remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflective conversation to clarify what matters most. It helps when someone wants space to talk through frustration and relationship strain.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and managing impulses. Those skills are often taught in short exercises and homework that fit well with online check-ins. Mindfulness Therapy trains present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can be practised between sessions to reduce reactivity and rumination.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made as you notice what helps and what does not, so the plan changes over time based on practical results.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Online work also allows practice of mindfulness and DBT exercises between meetings, which supports steady progress.
