Giorgia is a Melbourne-based holistic counsellor who practices both counselling and psychotherapy.

Giorgia is certified in Somatic Therapy for Complex Trauma and draws upon her qualifications in Counselling Psychology (MA) to ensure an integrative, person-centred and strengths based approach to therapy. Giorgia has worked in the community sector over the past few years and has gained experience in various therapeutic roles in family violence, family therapy and mental health.

Giorgia adopts a neurobiologically informed approach and draws upon interventions from Somatic Psychology to support the body and nervous system to heal from the experience of trauma and adversity. Giorgia also integrates interventions from evidence-based therapies such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Informed CBT, Schema Therapy and Existentialism to create a safe space for clients to process and heal at their own pace.

Giorgia’s approach is tailored to the needs of each person and may involve cultivating mindful self inquiry, deep present moment-awareness, compassion, curiosity and spirituality. Giorgia's practice ultimately centers around upholding each individual’s inherent capacity for growth and healing.
