About Ciro
Ciro De Pau uses a blend of humanistic and evidence-based approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety and trauma. He offers sessions in English and Italian and works from the United Kingdom. He aims to help people recognise patterns that keep them stuck and to find practical steps forward.
Ciro pays attention to both thoughts and feelings. He looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and at how the body and brain respond to stress.
Background and approach
This combination helps with issues such as depression, panic, eating concerns, addiction and problems with self-esteem. Sessions are shaped around each person's goals. He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relationship patterns and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Motivational Interviewing can be used when people want to change habits such as substance use or eating patterns. Over nine years of practice, Ciro has worked with people dealing with grief, intimacy-related difficulties, bipolar mood swings, ADHD and complex trauma histories. He also supports people who identify as LGBT and those managing identity or commitment concerns.
His NCPS credential is listed as NCPS. People who choose him can expect a calm, direct style focused on clarity and steady progress. He encourages honest conversation about what is hard and what is wanted instead of using jargon.
If someone decides to start, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Ciro aims to make therapy practical and relevant to everyday life. He helps people find clearer choices, healthier routines and better ways to cope when life becomes overwhelming.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that fit the issue and adjust the way they work as things change over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good when people want face-to-face interaction; phone can be less bandwidth-heavy and easier during a short break. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins, reflection between sessions or when writing things out feels more helpful. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life for people in different places and time zones.
