About Dario
Dario De Gaetanis uses mindfulness-based counselling as the foundation of his therapeutic work. He brings 14 years of experience and an NCPS credential to sessions offered in English and Italian across the United Kingdom and internationally.
He speaks plainly and aims to create a calm space where people can be heard and begin to change how they respond to stress and strong emotions. Dario draws on Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person's experience in the moment.
Background and approach
He also uses elements from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Internal Family Systems to help with emotion regulation and understanding internal parts. Sessions often blend talking with body-based awareness exercises to help people notice how stress shows up physically.
People come to him for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain and work problems. He also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, attachment questions and life transitions. Practical skills are paired with deeper reflection so people can build day-to-day coping tools and clearer long-term direction.
Dario has experience working in educational settings as an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant, which informs his straightforward and gentle style. He describes mindfulness practice as a way to return attention to the body and regulated breathing when emotions feel overwhelming. Sessions welcome whatever a person brings and look to build on inner resources.
Therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions through the platform.

Online support
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, focuses on practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It can be especially helpful for people who want concrete strategies for stress, anger or emotional overwhelm.
Dario will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. He discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. This means the plan can shift from skill teaching to deeper exploration if that better suits the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
