About Paolo
Paolo De Luca is a psychodynamic psychotherapist with eight years of experience supporting adults. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them and start to make sense of difficult feelings and patterns.
He sees people for a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, stress, addictions and difficulties with self-esteem. He also works with more specific problems like panic attacks, eating difficulties, bipolar mood challenges and self-harm.
Background and approach
Sessions are available in English and Italian. Paolo uses a psychodynamic way of working that looks at how past experiences and early relationships shape present behaviour and feelings. He helps people notice recurring patterns and links between past and present, so they can make different choices.
He also draws on client-centred ideas to keep the focus on the person's experience and pace therapy around their needs. Therapy may involve talking through current problems and reflecting on emotional reactions that come up in the room. Paolo encourages people to explore thoughts or memories that feel difficult, and he listens closely to find themes that might otherwise be overlooked.
He offers open-ended psychotherapy tailored to each person, and sessions can be arranged online or in person. International clients can be accepted and practical arrangements are discussed during an initial consultation. Practical details such as session format and scheduling are agreed together, and fees follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches Paolo lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
He also uses client-centred principles which place the person's experience at the centre of each session. This approach focuses on listening closely, reflecting back what is felt, and pacing work according to what the person needs most at the time.
Choosing a therapeutic approach often happens together during the first meetings. Paolo will help weigh different ways of working and agree on what feels most useful based on goals, preferences and the issues raised. That collaborative process can include trying short-term goals or opening into longer-term therapy if that suits the person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit easily into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to access support from different places and at times that suit everyday life.
