MIKE SCARANO

I am an accredited Psychotherapy Counsellor with the Psychotherapy Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

APPROACH

During these uncertain times, we can explore the challenges you face in your work or personal life. Together, we can untangle troublesome thoughts and emotions, developing strategies to manage and triumph over roadblocks and reconnect with joy. We will work in a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic space. A space where your feelings will be heard, accepted and explored to develop a deeper, clearer understanding of your truest self. We will call upon your innate resources and empower you to live the life you desire - and deserve. 

​ 

I strive to create a secure, respectful, and confidential atmosphere that promotes a positive client-therapist relationship, serving as a model for relationships outside of therapy. 

My relational therapeutic approach focuses on the importance relationships play in the shaping of our daily experiences. I support clients in understanding the patterns of thought and feeling individuals may have toward themselves and others. 

​

I deliver a customized approach; incorporating a number of therapeutic modalities based on each client’s unique circumstances and my range of expertise encompasses: 

Relationships, Self Confidence, Bereavement, Trauma, Relational Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Stress Management, Burnout, OCD, Addiction and COVID-related challenges.

EXPERIENCE

 I am an acccredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an EMDR therapist in training. I have worked at a variety  of counselling placements in London such as Help Counselling and NHS Wandsworth Surgery. I have also experience in wellbeing services for the Staines Probation service working with clients with disorders such as bipolar, anxiety, depression, disassociative. I work with LGBTQ, non-binary and heterosexual clients.

​

I have also had the good fortune to live and work in 8 countries, including Italy, Denmark, Netherlands and the US. Experiencing and absorbing different cultures has given me a deep understanding and appreciation for multiculturalism and the universal truths that unite us all.

I also bring lessons learned from 20+ years in corporate marketing. So, my own life experiences have equipped me with a keen insight into the challenges a professional might face adjusting to a multicultural environment or professional landscape. We can approach these challenges with coping strategies to manage the demanding lifestyle of a fast paced career.
