About Dario
Dario De Gaetanis brings a mindfulness-rooted approach to counselling. He blends practical mindfulness with talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and parenting challenges. His style is calm and steady, aimed at helping people feel heard and find everyday ways to cope.
He trained in psychology and holds the NCPS credential. Over 14 years he has developed a practice that mixes Client-Centred Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and body-based awareness.
Background and approach
He also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems to offer a flexible set of tools. Sessions often use breath, attention and simple body awareness exercises alongside conversation. That combination can help with sleep problems, low mood, self-esteem and addictive patterns.
It can also support people working through grief, trauma or workplace stress. Dario has experience working in educational settings as an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant, which adds practical experience with everyday emotional skills. He also speaks English and Italian, which can help bilingual clients express themselves more comfortably.
People choosing him can expect a collaborative process. He helps clients notice patterns, learn coping skills, and tap into inner resources. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical strategies that fit daily life.

How mindfulness and skills-based work transfer online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people bring calm attention to the present moment through breathing and simple awareness exercises. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems and building self-awareness. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, focuses on practical skills such as emotion regulation and distress tolerance to manage intense feelings and reduce unhelpful reactions.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the early work in therapy. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together you will choose whether to emphasise mindfulness practices, skills training or exploring deeper patterns. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.
Online sessions can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work and guided exercises. Phone sessions use less data and work when a camera feels unnecessary. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflections or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, while still using the same therapeutic methods and exercises you would get in person.
