About Giorgio
Giorgio Salmistraro is a PACFA counsellor in Australia with 14 years of practice helping people with relationships, family matters, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. He also works with anxiety, stress, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar and depression, and adjustment to life changes. Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted.
Giorgio focuses on practical conversation and steady support. He encourages people to talk about what is happening now and how it affects day-to-day life. He aims to reduce shame and judgement so people can name problems and try clearer ways of coping.
In sessions he helps clients explore relationship patterns, communicate needs, and manage feelings after loss. He also addresses intimacy concerns and behaviours that get in the way of connection. When addiction, trauma or mental health symptoms appear, he works on immediate coping skills alongside longer-term planning.
Giorgio blends direct discussion with collaborative problem-solving. He pays attention to practical steps a person can try between sessions. He also checks in about goals and adapts the focus as needs change.
People who want straightforward conversation about difficult topics often find his approach useful. To begin, follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Giorgio works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day problems and practical skills. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood symptoms; this includes breathing, grounding and behavioural steps to reduce overwhelm. Another common strand is relational work which looks at communication patterns, intimacy issues and ways to express needs more clearly in relationships.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Giorgio will discuss your concerns and goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. The process is about testing practical steps and deciding together which methods feel most useful for your situation.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm available formats before booking so you know what options apply. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or letting someone connect from a quieter location. Therapists and appropriately qualified professionals can work through relationship issues, grief and coping strategies effectively using these methods when matched to a client's needs.
