He uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Internal Family Systems to help with emotion regulation and understanding internal parts. Mindfulness and body-based awareness are woven through sessions to help clients notice how thoughts and feelings appear in the body.

Additional focuses include ADHD, eating and body image issues, immigration and caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of cancer.
In practice Dario mixes talking with somatic exercises and simple mindfulness practices. He aims to help people build coping skills they can use day to day, such as grounding, breathing and noticing patterns of thinking. Work on inner parts and emotional regulation is paced to each person’s needs.

How mindfulness and skills work online
Dario uses mindfulness-based counselling and Client-Centred Therapy to help people notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. Mindfulness practice here involves simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and workplace pressure. Client-Centred Therapy provides a calm, listening space where the person sets the pace and topics for sessions.He also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques to teach practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These skills help with intense feelings, interpersonal stress and managing strong urges, and they translate well into short exercises that clients can try between sessions. Finding the best fit between approaches is part of the work; the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and choose methods together in a collaborative way.
