Luigi Romanelli, AASW

Luigi Romanelli is an AASW social worker with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to sexual identity and expression. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at helping people slow down and make clearer choices.

He commonly sees people when patterns feel stuck, confidence has dropped, or sexual and relationship matters start to affect daily life. Luigi often supports men dealing with pressure, identity, intimacy and responsibility, and also helps women who want steadier connection and clearer direction. The work focuses on regulation, clarity and changes that hold up under real-world pressure.

Luigi blends client-centred counselling, clinical hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based strategies. He also uses solution-focused and motivational techniques where useful. His style is collaborative and paced to the person, with active reflection and noticing between sessions rather than quick fixes.

He works with a broad range of concerns beyond relationships and sexuality, including attachment problems, avoidant personality patterns, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, eating and substance use issues, and communication or commitment difficulties. Luigi aims to understand what drives patterns and to create practical steps forward.

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

How Luigi's approaches suit online therapy

Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It gives space for people to tell their story while the therapist reflects and helps clarify options. This approach helps with relationship difficulties, identity questions and ongoing stress.

Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided attention and suggestion to help reduce unhelpful patterns and support new ways of responding. It can be useful for anxiety, performance concerns and some habit-related problems when combined with other techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luigi will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels practical, then use methods together to suit those needs. That collaborative process helps match tools to the person rather than applying a fixed plan.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow therapy to continue across different regions of Australia. Because formats were not fully listed in the biography, confirm the available session options before booking. Discuss any practical needs at the first appointment so sessions can be arranged to suit quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic work as needed.
