About Matteo
Matteo Oriani is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of practice. He offers therapy in English and Italian and works with issues such as anxiety, stress, self-esteem and life transitions.
He often supports people who struggle with intense worrying, panic symptoms, insomnia and overthinking. He also helps with problems linked to relationships, including jealousy, anger and setting boundaries. Work and career changes, burnout and questions about life direction are part of his day-to-day work.
Matteo draws on a mix of approaches in sessions, including cognitive and person-centred ideas, Gestalt, existential work and Psychosynthesis. He may introduce mindfulness exercises to help manage symptoms and build practical coping skills. Image-based techniques linked to Jungian ideas can be used when they seem helpful, for example guided imagery or drawing tasks.
He has a background outside therapy in finance and sustainability, with more than ten years of work across the UK, Italy and East Africa. That experience informs his attention to practical career and workplace concerns and to coaching-style conversations when needed.
Sessions can be short-term or longer-term depending on what someone wants to focus on. Matteo accepts international clients and works with people seeking support for addiction, trauma, grief, anger, identity concerns and related issues alongside anxiety and social withdrawal.

How therapeutic approaches are used online
Matteo draws from cognitive techniques and person-centred ideas. Cognitive work looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and practical steps to reduce worrying and panic symptoms. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find clearer next steps at their own pace.He also uses mindfulness practices to help with stress and sleep problems. Image-based methods from Jungian work, such as guided imagery or drawing exercises, may be introduced when they suit someone’s way of working. These approaches aim to offer concrete tools and ways of noticing patterns rather than abstract theory.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Matteo will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful in early sessions and adjust methods as work progresses. He describes options and tries techniques so someone can judge what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, and offer a quieter setting when leaving the house is difficult. It can also reduce travel time and help people connect across locations, while the therapist and client agree together on timing and practical details.
