About Dario

Dario De Gaetanis combines mindfulness-based practice with established therapeutic approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and trauma. He brings 14 years of experience to sessions and works in English and Italian. Dario holds an NCPS credential and is based in the United Kingdom.

Dario centres sessions on mindful awareness and body-based noticing. He uses simple, practical exercises to help people recognise how feelings and sensations show up in the body.

Background and approach

This often helps with anger, low mood, anxiety and sleep problems. He draws on client-centred principles to create a calm space where people can speak openly. Conversations are guided rather than directed, so clients set the pace and focus.

That approach supports work on self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns and life changes. Where helpful, Dario introduces elements from psychodynamic thinking and Internal Family Systems to look at underlying patterns. He also uses aspects of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for skills in emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

These methods are used as tools to support coping and reduce overwhelm. Sessions can include simple mindfulness practices, breath and body awareness, and reflection on personal history. Dario also offers coaching-style work for career and life-purpose questions.

He aims to help people find small, steady ways to feel more in control. People who contact him often want practical strategies alongside reflective work. Dario emphasises collaboration and small steps that fit into everyday life.

He supports clients through change with patience and clear guidance.

How mindfulness and skills work online

Online sessions draw on mindfulness practice and DBT-style skills to help people manage emotions and stress. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness, simple breath and body noticing exercises that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, sleep and stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy provides practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for anger, relationship strain and overwhelming moods.

The therapist will help you choose which approach to follow. Finding the right method is part of the process and will be decided together based on your goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative, with room to try exercises and then adjust based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and guided practices, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and people in different locations.
