About Giorgio
Giorgio Salmistraro is a PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults who want to manage anger, mend relationships, or cope with loss. He also helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns and changes in work or family life.
Giorgio uses straightforward conversation to make space for what matters to each person. He encourages clients to name patterns that fuel anger, resentment or tension. Together they look at practical ways to reduce reactivity and improve communication with partners or colleagues.
Sessions explore relationship and intimacy issues in plain terms. Giorgio talks through grief, parenting strain and career stress so clients can find clearer choices. He also supports people dealing with trauma, bipolar mood shifts and depression in ways that connect to everyday life.
He has worked with additional concerns such as hoarding, HIV and AIDS related issues, hospice and end-of-life conversations, infidelity and multicultural factors. Giorgio brings 14 years of clinical experience to these topics and keeps the focus on manageable next steps.
People meet him to understand why they snap, why resentment builds, or how to live with someone else’s anger. He guides short-term problem solving and longer-term behaviour change, with straightforward tools and planning.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Giorgio works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact. Cognitive-style approaches help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns that increase anger and replace them with clearer, calmer responses. These approaches suit work on rumination, resentment and workplace or relationship triggers.He also uses practical behavioural strategies that teach how to pause and respond rather than react. That includes simple skills to reduce physical arousal, manage difficult conversations, and rehearse new responses outside sessions. These methods are helpful for stress, anxiety and anger that affects daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Giorgio will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences. He checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan over time so the work stays relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make sessions easier to fit around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time.
