About Pedro
Pedro Leone is an ACA counsellor and AHPRA-registered practitioner with eight years of clinical experience. He works in Australia and supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and depression. He also helps with relationship and family-related concerns and a broad range of life challenges.
Pedro uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different actions. He also incorporates elements from neuro-linguistic approaches and hypnotherapy to tailor interventions to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step changes. Pedro aims to build skills people can use between meetings, such as coping strategies, communication tools and routines that reduce overwhelm. He explains techniques in plain language and checks in often to make sure they fit the person's life.
People come to him for both short-term problem solving and longer-term personal growth. He takes a collaborative approach - choosing methods together and adjusting as progress unfolds. The work is practical, goal-oriented and paced to the person's comfort.
Pedro is comfortable working in English, Spanish and Portuguese. He offers a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different schedules and preferences.
Approaches that shape online therapy
Pedro often uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviours that keep stress and anxiety going. This approach is practical and focuses on skills you can use between sessions to reduce symptoms and build resilience.He also draws on neuro-linguistic ideas and hypnotherapy techniques to tailor interventions to the individual. These methods can support habit change, improve self-awareness and strengthen motivation when added to a cognitive approach.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Pedro discusses options, aligns methods with your goals, and adjusts the plan if something isn’t working. The aim is to find what fits your needs and feels manageable, not to follow one fixed method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and seeing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits better. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, check-ins between sessions or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
