About Matteo
Matteo Oriani offers a practical, evidence-informed approach to therapy. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in both English and Italian. Matteo aims to help people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and life transitions with clear, down-to-earth support.
He uses techniques from several well-known approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness exercises. Sessions can include image-based work such as guided imagery and simple drawing when that seems useful.
Background and approach
Matteo explains tools plainly and helps people try them in everyday life. Matteo has five years of counselling experience and previously spent over a decade working in finance and sustainability in the UK, Italy and East Africa. That background informs a practical focus on career questions and navigating big life changes.
He also brings experience supporting people with addiction, grief and trauma-related difficulties. People sometimes come to talk about relationships, boundaries, anger or feelings of emptiness. Matteo describes how small changes in thinking and routine can ease symptoms like panic, insomnia and overthinking.
He also works with issues linked to neurodivergence, helping clients adapt strategies to their own needs. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, while leaving space to explore deeper life questions. Matteo encourages steady progress and practical steps between meetings.

How Matteo works online
He also uses image-based methods inspired by Jungian ideas, such as guided imagery and simple drawing. These exercises help people access feelings that can be hard to name and can be useful for trauma, grief or when thinking feels stuck.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Matteo will listen to your goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what works. He aims to combine practical steps and reflective work so clients can apply learning between sessions.
Their biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow a quieter, more focused check-in. It can also make shorter or more frequent sessions easier to arrange when that better suits day-to-day life.
