Luigi Romanelli , AASW

Luigi Romanelli is a Launceston, Tasmania based social worker with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people through change, stress, and times of uncertainty. He combines relationship counselling and sex therapy with clinical hypnotherapy and general counselling, offering flexible appointments both in the local area and to clients across Australia via online sessions.

People typically seek his help when patterns feel stuck, confidence has been affected, or stress, sexuality, performance, or relationship dynamics begin to interfere with daily life. He works particularly well with men navigating pressure, identity, intimacy, and responsibility, while also supporting women who are seeking steadier connection and clearer direction. His practice addresses stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy related issues, and a wide range of related matters such as attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, and separation.

Luigi takes a practical, collaborative approach that helps clients slow down, identify what drives their reactions, and regain a sense of choice. He integrates client centered counselling, clinical hypnotherapy, mindfulness strategies, and evidence informed psychological frameworks, applying these methods carefully and at a client paced rhythm. Sessions are conversational and focused, with an emphasis on regulation, clarity, and changes that hold up under real world pressure.

He is an Australian registered social worker and holds the AASW credential - member of the Australian Association of Social Workers - and practises within professional and ethical standards. This service is not a crisis or emergency response.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Luigi often draws on client centered therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, and mindfulness approaches when working online. Client centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non directive space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work - it helps with relationship difficulties, identity concerns, and building self understanding. Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to explore patterns of thought and behaviour, which can be useful for issues like performance anxiety, habit change, and managing stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve regulation, which is helpful for anxiety, stress, and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Luigi collaborates with each person to select and adapt methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting pace and technique as the work unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Luigi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from across Australia while maintaining continuity of care and practical support for everyday life.
