About Michele

Michele Scarano helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. He works with people on attachment concerns, communication problems, social anxiety and phobia. Michele is a BACP member and has seven years of professional experience.

Michele uses a direct, practical approach in sessions. He encourages open conversation about thoughts and feelings and focuses on skills that people can use day to day. Sessions aim to clarify problems, practise communication, and develop ways to manage stressful or anxious moments.

He has lived and worked in eight countries, including Italy, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United States. That international background informs how he talks about culture and identity in therapy and helps him notice different ways people think about relationships and life changes.

In the room he emphasises clear goals and steady progress. People can expect short-term strategies for coping as well as space to look at longer standing patterns, such as attachment and repeated communication breakdowns.

Michele invites people to take the first step by describing their situation and what they want to change. He asks about current difficulties, what has helped before, and practical targets for the coming weeks. This helps shape the focus of early sessions and the pace of work.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Michele draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and patterns rather than labels. One approach looks at attachment and how early patterns affect current relationships; sessions explore how people form expectations and practise different ways of connecting. Another approach focuses on communication skills and behavioural work, helping people try new ways to speak, set boundaries and manage conflict.

Deciding which approach will help most is part of the collaborative work. Michele will discuss your goals and preferences in early sessions and agree a plan together, adjusting methods as progress is reviewed.

If you plan to use online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also help if you prefer not to be on camera or need flexible scheduling; these practical choices are discussed when arranging sessions.
