Matteo Oriani, BACP

Matteo Oriani is a UK-licensed therapist and a member of the BACP - the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. With five years of clinical practice, he offers both short-term and long-term therapy in English and Italian, working with individuals facing a wide range of emotional and practical challenges.

Matteo specialises in anxiety, excessive worrying and overthinking, supporting people who experience symptoms such as panic attacks, insomnia, obsessive thinking and paralysing anxiety. He also works with ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, helping clients develop everyday strategies that turn attention differences into strengths rather than limitations. Relationship work is a further focus - he supports clients navigating difficulties in intimate partnerships, friendships and family dynamics, including issues around jealousy, anger, control and boundary-setting.

Self-esteem, career and life transitions are central to his practice, and he helps people explore next steps after redundancy, separation or other major changes. Matteo supports clients managing stress and burnout, and he offers particular space for men to explore modern masculinity, sexual and social challenges. He integrates approaches such as Psychosynthesis, CBT, Person-Centred, Gestalt and Existential therapies, and brings training in image-based techniques drawn from Jungian ideas and in mindfulness practices when these fit the client’s needs.

Before training as a therapist, Matteo spent over ten years working in finance and sustainability across the United Kingdom, Italy and East Africa, where he led teams and mentored colleagues. His background informs a practical, growth-oriented approach to therapy that balances emotional exploration with concrete tools for change.
