About Paolo
Paolo De Luca is a psychodynamic psychotherapist who offers individual therapy to adults. He works in English and Italian and provides sessions online and in person. Paolo creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them right now.
Paolo sees people with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, relationship tensions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and addiction issues, panic attacks and self-harm.
Background and approach
He also helps with self-esteem, intimacy struggles, work and career stress, and life-stage changes. In sessions he listens closely and helps people look at patterns that keep causing pain. Conversations include what is happening now and what may be happening beneath the surface.
Paolo helps clients notice difficult feelings and long-standing themes so they can think about change. Therapy can be open-ended or arranged for a set time depending on what the person needs. He uses psychodynamic ideas alongside a client-centred stance, keeping the work grounded in the client’s experience.
The aim is to build self-awareness, confidence and more workable ways of relating to oneself and others. Paolo has eight years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging as ways to meet and work together.

How Paolo’s Approaches Work Online
Paolo uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and responding to each person’s experience. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk and feel understood before making changes.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and repeated feelings that come up across relationships and life events. It helps when people want to understand where their reactions come from and how past experiences affect the present, including responses to trauma.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Paolo will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person’s needs, goals and preferences. He talks through options at the first meetings and adjusts the way he works as the relationship develops.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for people with varied schedules or who are based in different locations.
