About Dario
He blends mindfulness with humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions often use body-based awareness alongside talking to help people access emotions that feel stuck. This mix can help when stress, anxiety or low mood make it hard to move forward.
People come to him for many issues, including midlife crisis, relationship worries, grief, addiction and workplace strain. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, attachment questions, eating or sleeping problems, and caregiving stress. The aim is practical change through clearer self-understanding and improved emotional regulation.
His approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Internal Family Systems and mindfulness-informed psychodynamic work. He explains techniques simply and practises meditational methods from Vipassana and Buddhist Dharma traditions, where relevant to the person’s goals.
Sessions are conversational and paced to suit the person. He helps people find inner resources, build coping skills and handle life transitions. International clients can be seen, and sessions are offered in English and Italian.

Mindfulness and evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood, helping people explore what matters to them without pressure. It suits those who need space to reflect and work out next steps. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping, which can help with anger, anxiety and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that build awareness and reduce reactivity in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and adapt methods as the relationship develops. That collaborative process helps narrow down which techniques to use and how to apply them to the person's particular situation.
For practicalities, please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals offer remote therapy that aims to make consistent care easier to maintain alongside everyday life.
