About Massimiliano

Massimiliano Cattafi helps people work through relationship difficulty, trauma and abuse, low self‑esteem, depression and the strain of life changes. He works by helping clients make sense of what matters to them so they can take meaningful action. He is a BACP member and has six years' experience.

He offers straightforward, practical conversations that focus on the issues that feel most pressing. He listens for patterns such as attachment, abandonment or communication problems and then helps people consider different ways of responding. Sessions also address related concerns like body image, guilt and shame, and feeling isolated.

Massimiliano has worked with people facing chronic pain, long‑term illness and carer stress, and he recognises how these challenges affect mood and daily routines. He also supports those managing divorce, commitment worries or impulsivity by helping them clarify values and next steps.

He works in English and Italian and practices in the United Kingdom. His BACP membership means he follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework.

People who want to start are asked to use the site's matching process and book a first session. He draws on evidence‑based therapeutic techniques to help clients identify practical steps, review progress and adjust the work as needed.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Massimiliano uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. One approach helps people understand patterns in relationships and attachment so they can try different responses to recurring problems. Another approach focuses on breaking down difficult feelings like shame or emptiness into manageable parts and testing small changes in daily life to see what helps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and then agree a way of working together. The plan can change as progress is reviewed and new needs emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, check the site to confirm which session formats he currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around everyday life, such as shorter check‑ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or meeting without being on camera when that suits you better.
