About Matteo
Matteo Oriani is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He offers therapy in English and Italian and combines short-term and longer-term work to meet different needs. He focuses on anxiety, stress and burnout, and on building self-esteem and confidence.
He helps people facing career or life transitions, and those coping with grief, trauma, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, immigration-related stress and feelings of emptiness.
Background and approach
Matteo uses a blend of well-established approaches to shape sessions around what each person needs. Practical tools may include mindfulness practices, guided imagery and drawing exercises when appropriate. He draws on cognitive and experiential methods to help people manage symptoms such as panic, insomnia and overthinking.
He has five years of clinical experience and earlier professional background in finance and sustainability across the United Kingdom, Italy and East Africa. That experience informs his focus on work and career questions, leadership stress and finding purpose. Sessions can include conversational work, skill-building and creative exercises tailored to the individual.
Matteo aims to help people make small, usable changes that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Online support
He also uses experiential and image-based techniques such as guided imagery and drawing exercises influenced by Jungian ideas. These tools help access emotions and personal meaning that words alone can miss, and they can be adapted to online formats when helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matteo will discuss different methods and agree on what to try together. This is a collaborative process based on your aims, preferences and how you respond in early sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and imagery work, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging lets you reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family commitments while keeping continuity of care.
