Piero Dell’Anno - BA. MA. PgDip. MSc. Dip. Cert. MSc. Cert.
Compassionate and Relational Gestalt Therapy
Welcome!
I’m Piero Dell'Anno, a UKCP registered clinical psychotherapist, counsellor, and supervisor based in Central London. I’m also a registered psychologist with the Italian Board of Psychologists. With over 15 years of experience, I work from a Relational Gestalt and Somatic perspective, supporting individuals through personal growth, emotional healing, and life’s challenges. My practice is located in West Hampstead, Farringdon, and Central London, with the option for online sessions as well.
My Approach
At the heart of my work is the belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I focus on creating a space where you feel truly heard, seen, and understood. In our work together, I aim to foster a sense of genuine connection, which helps you explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
I work with you to cultivate an atmosphere of empathy and authenticity, where we can dive deeply into your emotional world. This process allows you to explore and express what you are going through, while also offering validation of your emotions and perspectives. My role is to walk with you, side by side, offering support and creating space for self-awareness, healing, and personal empowerment.
I also emphasize collaboration, where you and I work together as equals, building a sense of mutual respect and trust. This is essential in helping you feel confident in making positive changes in your life, whether that’s in your relationships, your work, or your sense of self.
Psychotherapy is a process that supports clients to address their pain, their suffering and struggles. In my view, psychotherapy is a relational process within which the psychotherapist and their clients discover what gives life and what life gives. During our journey we will practice together interdependence - and not dependence - to heal from the wounds that have occurred during your life.

Creating a Supportive Space for Growth
Supporting people’s well-being lies at the heart of my work as a clinical psychotherapist. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to begin a counselling journey — even making that first call can be a deeply courageous act. Reaching out often marks the beginning of a shift: a step toward greater awareness, self-acceptance, and connection.
In our work together, I invite you into a space where all parts of you are welcome — a space where we can slow down, notice what’s emerging in the moment, and explore your experience with curiosity and compassion. Gestalt therapy honors the wisdom that arises when we bring attention to what is happening here and now — in your body, your emotions, your thoughts, and in the space between us.
I see therapy not as a path to “fix” something broken, but as an unfolding process of becoming more fully who you are. Through honest dialogue, embodied presence, and deep listening, we can begin to loosen the grip of old patterns, judgments, and limiting beliefs — allowing space for new choices, fuller contact, and a deeper sense of aliveness.
Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and heard in our sessions. They describe my presence as warm, grounded, and non-judgmental — qualities that I hold with care, knowing how vital they are for genuine healing and growth to take place
The Therapy Process
Therapy is a collaborative process, a process of discovery, transformation and growth. I believe our suffering can be transformed into beauty. The causes of our suffering are often the results of how well equipped we have been to deal with life events, our families, the environment, friends, education and relationships. I believe we always thrive to deal with life the best we can.
A Nourishing Experience
Seeing my clients blossoming, coming out of impasses and embracing new possibilities is for me a nourishing and life-blessing experience. I use relational Gestalt psychotherapy and humanistic counselling for individuals and couples who are facing a challenging time in their lives and need a safe, compassionate, private space to work through their issues in a way that is comfortable and supportive to them.

As a psychotherapist and counsellor in West Hampstead, Farringdon and Central London, I use Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy and Humanistic Counselling to work with clients. I take extreme care to give you dedicated space of loving kindness, and understanding. I will always be mindful of your struggle and support you fully on your journey towards expanding your awareness and becoming who you truly are.
I believe that human nature is inherently good and everyone has the potential to find their own answers to their problems. I aim to support you to be fully transparent, to explore your feelings and to speak openly. In my capacity as your therapist I envisage to offer you empathy and congruence, to support you to be open and authentic and to accept you as you are.
Your well-being is at the core of my work. Like sunflowers, we have an innate tendency to turn towards energy and light. Sometimes we lose sight of this. I am passionate about supporting clients to unlock that skill again – to increase their presence, attunement with others, and rediscover what gives them life and what life gives them.
As a Gestalt Relational therapist I will support you to explore the role relationships play in the shaping of your daily experiences. Together we will attempt to understand patterns appearing in your thoughts and feelings toward yourself and toward others.
Strong and fulfilling relationships with others can help maintain emotional well-being, reduce emotional distress, especially when distress occurs as a result of relational concerns.
For more information on the ways I can work with you, head over to my How I Work page.
I work with adults of all genders, sexual orientations, and ethnic backgrounds. I have experience working with people in various professions, such as: education, the arts, health, finance, law, and business. I also have expertise with LGBTQIA+ matters.
Working with couples is another significant part of my practice. In couple psychotherapy people experience that to be in relation to another, implies to accept and to be accepted, to be listened and to listen and to suspend judgment, as a way to co-create new relational opportunities.
To make sure you are comfortable with me and get a sense that I’m the right counsellor and psychotherapist for you, I offer a free initial 30-minute consultation, with no obligation to have further sessions if it doesn’t feel right.
This is your chance to speak freely about the problems you are facing; you also don’t have to go into detail if you aren’t ready to do so. I will explain a little bit more about how I will work with you during this call and we will establish is we will meet face to face or online.
“Presence is our openness to the unfolding of possibilities. Attunement is how we focus our attentions on others and take their essence into our own inner world.” — Daniel Siegel
I am here to support you in your journey towards rediscovering the essence of your own inner world. We are all equipped to thrive, but don’t always know how, and counselling and psychotherapy help you on that journey towards self-discovery, self-appreciation, and love towards yourself and others. It helps you discover who you really are and how to build long-lasting relationships with others.
Our sessions together are about sharing thoughts, emotions, and feelings, seeing life through a more compassionate, inclusive and kind lens, to learn how to be less judgmental of your difficulties and impasses and becoming less fearful of change. My role is to help you get closer to your core self, to accept – and not supress – who you are. To help with this process, I am extremely conscious of attunement, which means truly listening to you in a non-judgemental way, understand and support your needs to reach a better place.
Valuing diversity in every form and supporting equal opportunities for all genders, races and sexualities is a core aspect of my work as a counsellor and clinical psychotherapist.
We are all different, and, whoever we are, should be celebrated, seen, and valued. That is why I always take a strictly affirmative, intersectional approach to the clients I work with.
