Georgio Laporta, NCPS

Georgio Laporta is a counsellor, psychotherapist and acting psychologist with a decade of experience supporting people through major life challenges and transitions. Over ten years he has worked alongside clients, caregivers, guardians and educators to deliver therapeutic care that addresses trauma, substance use, diagnosis and illness, and the broader goal of restoring life satisfaction, purpose and agency.

Drawing on a psychodynamic and holistic perspective, he views personal growth as an active pursuit of the self and integrates mind-body insights into clinical work. His training includes studies in psychotherapy, psychology, applied kinesiology and hypnotherapy, and he brings those elements together when appropriate to explore how subtle thoughts and personal narratives influence emotional and physical well-being. He holds the NCPS credential, a qualification in counselling and psychotherapy.

Georgio uses a broad range of techniques such as regression and parts therapies, meditation and mindfulness practices, psychodynamic approaches, emotional stress relief, eye desensitisation, metaphor therapy, cognitive behavioural strategies, behaviour change methods, dialectic techniques and motivational interviewing. He adapts therapeutic choices to each person, selecting modalities that best match individual needs and goals. Outside of practice he recuperates through family time, music, playing local club soccer, reading and exploring psychological philosophies, all of which inform his compassionate, growth-oriented approach.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting therapeutic relationship where the client leads the pace and content of work. It helps people explore values, clarify identity and build self-trust when facing life changes, relationship concerns or self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic and unhelpful coping patterns. CBT is goal-oriented and often useful for managing stress, mood disorders and specific problem behaviours.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can ease rumination, emotional reactivity and obsessive worry. It supports recovery from trauma, addiction triggers and persistent stress by strengthening attention and self-regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Georgio works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and reach support from different locations. These formats allow therapists to provide consistent care, accommodate scheduling needs and support ongoing work between appointments.
