About Paolo
Paolo De Luca is a psychodynamic counsellor with eight years' experience providing therapy to adults. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about worries and feel heard. Sessions are available in English and Italian and can be arranged online or in person in the United Kingdom.
He commonly helps people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports those dealing with loss, trauma, panic attacks and complex feelings such as emptiness or jealousy.
Background and approach
Practical life changes, career concerns and struggles with addiction are within his experience too. Paolo tends to work by listening closely and helping clients notice patterns that might be hidden from view. He encourages people to speak freely about what is on their mind and to look at deeper themes that affect daily life.
This can reveal how past experiences shape present reactions. Sessions can be open-ended when that suits the client, or structured around particular goals discussed together. The aim is to build awareness and self-confidence so clients can make changes they want in their lives.
He frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a set of instructions. Conversations often move at the client's pace, with attention to emotional detail and life context. Paolo invites people to explore difficult subjects gently and to develop more helpful ways of relating to themselves and others.
How Paolo's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering a respectful, accepting space where the person's own views guide the work. It helps when someone needs to be heard and validated while they make decisions or cope with stress.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns. It can be useful for people who want to understand recurring difficulties, such as relationship issues, attachment concerns or persistent anxiety.
Finding the best way to work together is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest whether a more exploratory or goal-focused route is right. Decisions about length and structure of sessions are made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel close to face to face, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care across locations and schedules.
