Michele Scarano, BACP

Michele Scarano is a UK-credentialed therapist with seven years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings an international perspective shaped by living and working in eight countries, including Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the USA. This multicultural background informs his practice and his interest in different cultural ways of thinking.

Michele works collaboratively to build an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. He attends to attachment and communication patterns, social anxiety, and motivational challenges while tailoring support to each person’s goals. Michele recognises that beginning therapy can take courage and affirms clients for taking that first step. He offers a steady, empathetic presence and practical strategies aimed at improving day-to-day coping, strengthening relationships, and restoring confidence.

Therapy with Michele emphasises respect for individual background and lived experience, and he seeks to help clients find realistic, sustainable ways to manage difficulties and move forward.

Evidence-Based Techniques Adapted for Online Support

Many of Michele’s sessions use evidence-based cognitive approaches that help identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and related behaviours, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood. He also incorporates attachment-focused and interpersonal work to explore relationship patterns, communication difficulties, and social anxiety, helping clients understand how early and current relationships influence present interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michele frames this as a collaborative process. He works with each person to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Michele is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around busy lives. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to continue when circumstances make in-person meetings difficult.
