Paolo De Luca

I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist offering individual therapy for adults of all ages. I provide a private, supportive and non-judgemental space for you to think and speak about your concerns.

I work  with clients from different backgrounds and presenting with a variety of issues, including low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, loss and bereavement, relationship or family issues, traumatic experiences, life-stage crisis, panic attacks, sexual abuse, low self-esteem, sexuality, personality disorder, cultural identity issues.

Throughout psychotherapy, you will have the opportunity to raise issues that are currently on your mind and to explore underlying matters and themes, some of which you may not be completely aware. I will listen to you closely and will work with you to uncover the difficult areas of your life, and to think about things you might not ordinarily think about. My purpose is to support people to make positive changes and to reach their full potential in their lives, through gaining awareness and self-confidence and allowing healthier and happier ways of living.

I offer a private, confidential and non-judgemental space in which you can think about aspects of life that are worrying you, in order to re-own equilibrium and confidence in yourself and to improve the quality of your emotional life.

The aim of our work together is to promote emotional insight in order to understand how we feel and why. Thanks to this, you will be able to gain control over difficult moments that inevitably stir up uncomfortable feelings.

The first session with me is an opportunity to get to know each other, so to understand what your difficulties are and how you want to work on yourself. Certain people may need specific kind of therapies: this is therefore an assessment to ascertain whether my approach is the most suitable to you or whether it would be better for you to be signposted to another kind of therapy/approach.
