About Paolo
Paolo De Luca is a psychodynamic counsellor who offers individual therapy for adults in the United Kingdom. He brings eight years of experience and provides a calm, supportive space where people can speak openly about what is worrying them. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and can be arranged online or in person.
Paolo focuses on the concerns people most often bring to therapy. These include anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, grief, panic attacks and trauma.
Background and approach
He also works with difficulties such as addiction, eating problems, anger, career stress and the challenges of life changes. In sessions Paolo listens closely and helps people notice patterns that may be holding them back. He supports clients to explore feelings and memories that affect current behaviour.
The aim is to build self-awareness and confidence so people can make changes they want in everyday life. Paolo uses psychodynamic thinking to look at underlying themes and Client-Centred approaches to follow what matters most to each person. He offers open-ended therapy when that fits, and adapts the length of work to the individual.
Practical matters are discussed at an initial consultation. Paolo works with people from varied backgrounds and accepts international clients, arranging sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging according to need.

How Paolo's approaches translate to online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns, past experiences and recurring themes that affect how people feel and behave today. In sessions this often means talking through memories and strong feelings to gain new understanding about current problems such as trauma, relationship patterns or low self-esteem.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment. The counsellor follows what the client brings, offering empathic listening and reflection to help people clarify their own goals and make decisions. This approach can be useful for anxiety, grief, coping with life changes and building self-confidence.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Paolo will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful, and may blend psychodynamic ideas with a Client-Centred way of working. Together they will review what is helping and adjust the approach over time.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing written support that can fit around work or caring commitments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and accessible regardless of location.
