About Matteo
Matteo Oriani is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He speaks English and Italian and offers both short-term and longer-term therapy to people navigating stress, anxiety and life transitions. Matteo draws on practical techniques to help people cope with work pressure, relationship problems and addictive behaviours.
He combines several evidence-based tools in sessions, including cognitive behavioural ideas, person-centred listening and existential reflection. Matteo also uses mindfulness when it helps to manage symptoms such as panic, rumination or insomnia. He may introduce image-based work and guided imagery where that suits a person's needs.
Matteo has five years' experience as a practising counsellor, and prior to that he spent over ten years working in the financial and sustainability sectors across the UK, Italy and East Africa. That background informs a direct, pragmatic style when discussing career change, money-related stress and professional pressures.
Typical issues covered include anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, anger and addictions as well as challenges around relationships, separation and life purpose. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, impulsivity, isolation and immigration-related concerns.
Sessions focus on practical ways to reduce distress and on exploring values and goals. Matteo aims to help people build clearer choices, better boundaries and more manageable day-to-day routines.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Matteo draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic and worries that get in the way of daily life. He also uses person-centred listening, which focuses on understanding a person's experience and helping them find their own solutions. Where people face questions of meaning or transition, existential discussion supports exploration of values, choices and life direction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Matteo discusses different techniques with each person and together they decide what feels most helpful. That collaborative process means approaches can change as goals evolve or new challenges appear.
The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online working can make it simpler to keep appointments during work breaks, manage sessions across time zones, or keep calls shorter when needed. Confirm the specific session formats available with Matteo before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
