Michele Scarano, BACP

Michele Scarano is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with seven years of professional experience. He works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem and depression. Michele also focuses on coping with life changes and on issues such as attachment, communication problems, social anxiety and phobia.

He has lived and worked in eight countries, including Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United States. That international background shapes how he thinks about culture and difference in sessions. Michele uses everyday language and aims to make conversations straightforward and practical.

In sessions he encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings. He aims for a clear, non-judgemental atmosphere where people can say what is on their mind and look at what might help next. He works at a pace set by the person in front of him.

Michele takes a practical approach to problems like social anxiety and relationship communication. He helps people spot patterns, try small changes and reflect on the results. Sessions often include checking how new strategies are working in daily life.

People who choose him will find a counsellor who draws on experience from several countries and seven years of client work. He speaks English and Italian and works with adults who want help with the concerns listed above.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works

One approach he draws on helps people spot and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. This is useful for anxiety, low mood and social fears because it focuses on small, practical steps someone can try between sessions. Another approach he uses looks at attachment and relationship patterns to help people understand how early connections affect current communication and closeness. That work can make it easier to try different ways of relating in everyday life.

Choosing the right approach is usually part of the first few sessions. He will work with each person to decide which techniques make sense based on their goals and what feels manageable. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as the work progresses.

If you want to use remote counselling, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments, or useful when travel would be difficult. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and need less bandwidth, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation from a different location. Confirm the available formats and practical arrangements when you make your first appointment.
