About Luigi

Luigi Romanelli is an AASW social worker with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people through change, strain and uncertainty. He offers straightforward, practical sessions that focus on thoughts and everyday habits that shape stress, relationships and sexual wellbeing. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person’s needs. He often sees people when patterns feel stuck or confidence has taken a hit. Common concerns include anxiety, addictions, intimacy and relationship difficulties. Luigi pays attention to how daily thoughts and habits keep problems running, and works with clients to notice small changes that make a difference. His style blends client-centred counselling with clinical hypnotherapy and mindfulness strategies. He also uses solution-focused and motivational approaches when they suit the situation. These methods are applied gradually and collaboratively rather than as quick fixes. Work in sessions is practical and reflective. Clients are invited to try experiments between sessions and to notice what changes in everyday life. The emphasis is on regulation, clearer choices and approaches that hold up under real-world pressure. Luigi provides online counselling across Australia and follows professional standards as an AASW social worker. He is a mandatory reporter under Australian law and clarifies boundaries about crisis care up front.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Luigi often blends client-centred counselling and mindfulness-based strategies in online work. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship, helping people clarify what matters and make choices that fit their life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day regulation, which can help with anxiety, stress and chronic pain.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He will work with each person to test what feels most helpful, adjusting methods based on individual goals and preferences. The therapist frames this as a team effort rather than a fixed plan.
