Dario De Gaetanis
Mindfulness-based counsellor focusing on emotion regulation
About Dario
Dario De Gaetanis draws on mindfulness and client-centred work to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and life transitions. He combines gentle attention to the body with talking therapies to help people tune into emotions and reactions. Dario speaks English and Italian and practises from the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience.
He places mindfulness at the heart of sessions, using breath and body awareness to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Background and approach
That practical focus helps when sleep, concentration or mood are affected by worry or low mood. He blends mindfulness with elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic ideas to provide different ways of understanding problems. Sessions often include simple body-based exercises alongside conversation.
This lets people access feelings that can be hard to name and work through them more directly. Dario aims to help people notice patterns, name what matters and find small changes that reduce distress. He also supports people facing grief, compassion fatigue, addictions and workplace difficulties.
Issues such as body image, ADHD, attachment and immigration stress are within his scope of focus. The approach is practical and paced to the individual’s needs. People are offered a calm, attentive space to talk and to build coping skills.
The emphasis is on discovering inner resources and improving everyday functioning. Dario encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people learn simple awareness exercises such as breath and body noticing. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep problems and when emotions feel overwhelming because it teaches grounding and present-moment focus.Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, brings concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional control. These skills are helpful for anger, mood swings and building better day-to-day coping strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods suit their goals and preferences. This means trying practical techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
