Matteo Oriani, BACP

Matteo Oriani is a UK-licensed therapist and a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. He offers both short-term and long-term work in English and Italian and brings a practical, exploratory style to sessions.

Matteo specializes in anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties and self-esteem issues, and he supports people facing career and life transitions. He also works with neurodivergence including ADHD and related attention or learning differences, and he helps clients address addictions, trauma, grief and anger. Additional areas of focus include abandonment and attachment issues, impulsivity, isolation and questions about life purpose.

His approach integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychosynthesis, Person-Centred, Gestalt and Existential traditions, tailoring methods to the concerns presented. He has specific training in image-based methods influenced by Jungian ideas and may introduce guided imagery and drawing exercises where useful. Mindfulness practices are offered as tools to manage symptoms and increase present-moment awareness.

Before training as a therapist, Matteo spent more than ten years working in the financial sector and in sustainability across the United Kingdom, Italy and East Africa, where he held leadership roles and mentored colleagues. That background informs a grounded, practical perspective on change and recovery.
