About Luigi
Luigi Romanelli is an AASW social worker with 20 years of clinical experience. He offers practical, conversational counselling aimed at people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, relationship strain or sexual concerns. Sessions are steady and focused on everyday change rather than quick fixes.
He commonly helps people who notice repeated patterns, lowered confidence or relationship and intimacy problems that affect day-to-day life. He describes a collaborative style that slows things down so clients can see what drives their reactions and make different choices.
Background and approach
He uses a mixture of client-centred counselling, hypnotherapy and mindfulness strategies in session. Luigi often works with men facing pressure around identity, intimacy and responsibility, and also supports women seeking clearer direction and steadier connection. He frames work around regulation, clarity and practical steps that hold up under real-world pressure.
Reflection between sessions is part of the process. His additional focus areas include addictions, body image, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and a range of sexuality-related concerns such as kink and BDSM conversations. He also addresses separation, commitment worries and emotional emptiness.
Sessions are offered across Australia by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. He works within professional and ethical standards as an AASW social worker and does not provide crisis or emergency response services.
How client-centred and online approaches work together
Client-centred counselling focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves open conversation, active listening and helping people find their own solutions rather than being told what to do. It is useful for relationship concerns, anxiety and problems with confidence.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steady focus. It helps people manage stress and notice automatic reactions so they can choose different responses. Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided attention and imagery to support change in habits, motivation and emotional regulation when that is appropriate for the client.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Luigi will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then tailor methods in collaboration with the client. That means trying different ways of working and changing course as needed to suit the person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support without travel.
