Luigi Romanelli , AASW

Luigi Romanelli is a social worker based in Launceston, Tasmania, with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people through periods of change, strain, and uncertainty. He provides relationship counselling, sex therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, and general counselling, working with clients locally and across Australia through flexible online sessions.

People seek his help when patterns feel stuck, confidence has been affected, or stress, sexuality, performance, or relationship dynamics begin to disrupt daily life. He works particularly well with men navigating pressure around identity, intimacy, and responsibility, and he also supports women who are looking for steadier connection and clearer direction. His practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, attachment and avoidant personality concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication and commitment problems, and family difficulties.

Luigi takes a practical, collaborative approach that helps clients slow down, clarify what is driving their responses, and regain a greater sense of choice. He integrates client-centred counselling, clinical hypnosis, mindfulness strategies, and evidence-informed psychological frameworks, applying techniques at a pace suited to each person. Sessions are conversational and focused, with an emphasis on active reflection and noticing between meetings rather than quick fixes, aiming for regulation, clarity, and changes that hold up under real-world pressure.

He practises as a member of the AASW - the Australian Association of Social Workers - which reflects recognised professional standards. He is also a mandatory reporter under Australian law. This service is not a crisis or emergency response. If someone is seeking thoughtful, grounded support, Luigi can be a considered starting point.

Client-centred care, hypnotherapy and mindfulness online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a collaborative relationship in which the therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to the client so they can discover their own solutions. It is especially useful for relationship challenges, attachment concerns, and work around identity and decision-making.

Clinical Hypnotherapy uses guided focus and suggestion alongside talk-based work to help shift entrenched patterns such as performance anxiety, habitual behaviours, and aspects of addiction or pain management. It is used as a complementary tool within broader therapeutic work rather than a standalone quick fix.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and regulation skills that reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, chronic pain, and persistent anxious thoughts. These techniques help people notice responses as they arise and choose different ways of acting.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Luigi works collaboratively with each person to identify and adapt methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting pace and technique so clients feel engaged and supported.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility to fit work and caregiving schedules, improves access for people outside major centres, and helps maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult. These options allow for focused, conversational sessions and practical follow-up between meetings to support change in everyday life.
