Giorgio Salmistraro

Giorgio Salmistraro is a counsellor with 14 years of experience based in Australia. He supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief and loss, and intimacy-related concerns. Giorgio aims to make the first step easier by offering steady, non-judgmental support.

He helps people talk through relationship and family tensions in straightforward language. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical ways to cope. When grief or end-of-life issues come up, he listens and helps people find a way forward that suits their values.

Giorgio works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and mood challenges such as bipolar. He also assists those managing addictions, compulsive behaviours, or obsessive thoughts. Conversations cover everyday pressures like work, parenting and career choices alongside deeper emotional patterns.

People bring concerns about intimacy, jealousy, infidelity and non-monogamous relationships, and Giorgio supports them to clarify boundaries and rebuild trust. He also pays attention to compassion fatigue, multicultural issues, and the impacts of intellectual disability or veteran-related experiences when they arise.

Giorgio holds PACFA and uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. He encourages gentle goal-setting and skills people can use between meetings. The emphasis is on clear steps, honest conversation and steady support to help people manage life changes.

Approaches that guide online support

Giorgio draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop coping skills for anxiety, low mood and stress; it teaches concrete tools to manage everyday reactions. Another approach centres on grief and loss, offering space to process difficult emotions, remember what matters, and plan meaningful ways to carry on after bereavement.

Finding the right approach is something Giorgio works through with each person. He treats therapy as a collaborative process and will recommend strategies based on your needs, goals and what feels workable for you. This helps keep sessions relevant and focused on clear, achievable steps.

The source biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between appointments, or letting people choose a quieter environment that suits them. Giorgio aims to make sessions practical and easy to include in everyday routines, while tailoring the method to the concerns you bring.
