Ciro De Pau, NCPS

Ciro De Pau is an Italian-born therapist based in the United Kingdom who offers sessions in both English and Italian. He works with individuals facing a wide range of concerns - from anxiety, stress, depression and sleep difficulties to trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges. He also supports people dealing with addictions, eating and body image issues, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, grief, and the complex effects of attachment and abandonment experiences.

Ciro combines an awareness of unconscious patterns with attention to the biology of the brain-body connection, aiming to understand how thoughts, behaviours and physiological responses interact. He draws on psychodynamic and humanistic traditions alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to tailor a therapeutic approach that fits each person. His training and clinical practice are reflected in his NCPS credential - a recognised professional counselling qualification indicating formal preparation in therapeutic work.

He enjoys working through complex presentations, helping clients to identify patterns, set achievable goals and develop practical strategies for change. Ciro frames therapy as a collaborative process, adapting methods and pace to the needs and preferences of the person he is working with. Prospective clients who are curious about working with him are invited to reach out to learn more about possible ways of working and to explore whether his style feels like a good fit.

Approaches and Online Support for Personal Growth

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of relating and emotional safety. It helps people understand attachment needs and work through difficulties in closeness, trust and abandonment that affect current relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and the client’s own capacity for growth. It creates space for people to explore feelings and values at their own pace and is helpful when someone needs support clarifying goals and building self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop alternative strategies. It can be useful for managing anxiety, mood challenges and stress-related patterns by combining thinking, feeling and behaviour-focused work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey - the therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the approach remains aligned with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy with Ciro is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier around work, family and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for international clients and for people who prefer remote sessions, while still enabling meaningful therapeutic work with licensed professionals and therapists.
