About Michele

Michele Scarano is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Michele also focuses on attachment issues, communication problems and social anxiety and phobia.

He has lived and worked in eight countries, including Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United States. That international experience shapes how he listens and responds to different cultural perspectives. Michele uses straightforward conversation to help people describe what is worrying them and what they would like to change.

Sessions tend to be practical and paced to the person. Michele helps people break concerns into manageable steps and tries to make next steps clear. He encourages people to notice small shifts and to practise ways of responding that suit their everyday life.

He aims to make the first sessions focused and low pressure. Early meetings usually cover what brought the person to counselling, current challenges, and priorities for change. From there Michele and the person plan how to work together and what to focus on in future sessions.

Michele offers work in English and Italian and draws on his cross-cultural experience when discussing values and expectations. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Michele draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach is behavioural work that encourages small, manageable steps to face situations that cause anxiety; this helps people practise new responses and reduce avoidance over time. Another approach involves exploring attachment and communication patterns to understand how past relationships influence current interactions and worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Michele will work with the person to choose which methods to try, based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as sessions progress and new priorities emerge.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing a shorter check-in at a break. It can also support continuity when someone is living or working across locations within the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques so they work over distance and help people practise skills between sessions.
