Luigi Romanelli, AASW

Luigi Romanelli is an AASW social worker with 20 years of clinical experience. He offers calm, practical counselling for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, sexuality and relationship or intimacy concerns. Sessions are conversational and focused on making small, steady changes that fit into busy lives.

Clients commonly come when patterns feel stuck or confidence has been knocked. Luigi helps people slow down, notice what is driving their responses, and make choices that reduce pressure. He brings particular experience working with men on identity, intimacy and responsibility, while also supporting women seeking clearer direction and steadier connection.

His work blends client-centred counselling with clinical hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based strategies. He also uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing ideas to build practical steps forward. The emphasis is on noticing, reflection and regulation rather than quick fixes.

Sessions include active reflection and small practices to try between meetings. Luigi aims for changes that hold up under real-world stress and daily demands. He explains options clearly and keeps the pace matched to each person’s needs.

Luigi provides flexible online counselling to people across Australia. He practises to AASW standards and follows mandatory reporting requirements under Australian law. This service is not a crisis or emergency response.

How Luigi's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows each person's lead, helping people clarify their goals and feel heard; it suits issues like relationship tension, identity and intimacy worries.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can help with stress, anxiety and patterns that keep repeating by teaching ways to notice thoughts and sensations without acting on them immediately.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luigi will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which combination of approaches to try. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method on them.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow follow-up between meetings. It also supports continuity for people living in different parts of Australia. Practical benefits include shorter check-ins when needed, easier scheduling around work, and keeping therapeutic momentum between sessions.
