Ludovico Maccauro

I’m an Italian psychologist now living in Berlin. My focus is on adolescents and young adults navigating the pressures that come with growing up in a hyperconnected, high-comparison world.

I work with clients dealing with digital and behavioural addictions, compulsive smartphone use, social media, and similar behaviours.

I also work with bullying, cyberbullying, mobbing, isolation, and difficult peer dynamics, whether they show up at school, in friend groups, online, or in that disorienting first year of university or a new job in a new city.

And I work with social and performance anxiety. The fear of judgment that can show up before a job interview, a first date, a class presentation, or simply walking into a room full of strangers.

My approach combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and an integrative style that adapts to what each client actually needs. Practical tools to interrupt unhelpful patterns, alongside the space to understand where those patterns come from.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Sessions with me are collaborative and grounded: we work together to build concrete strategies you can use between sessions, not just insight for its own sake.

If you’re a young person struggling with any of this, I’d be glad to talk.
