Georgio Laporta, NCPS

Georgio Laporta brings ten years of experience working alongside clients, caregivers, guardians and educators in roles as a counsellor, psychotherapist and acting psychologist. Over the last several years his practice has increasingly focused on helping people regain control of their lives after traumatic events, substance use, medical diagnoses and chronic illness, with an emphasis on improving life satisfaction, sense of purpose and personal resilience.

Grounded in an academic background, Georgio works from a psychodynamic and holistic perspective and views growth as an ongoing process of self-discovery. He draws on that belief when supporting people through change, and he integrates mind-body connections into therapeutic work to recognize how thoughts, personal narratives and subtle mental patterns can have tangible effects on wellbeing.

His previous studies include psychotherapy, psychology, applied kinesiology and hypnotherapy, and he holds the credential NCPS - a professional credential indicating training and standing in counselling and psychotherapy. Georgio uses a range of techniques in session, including regression and parts therapies, meditation and mindfulness, psychodynamic methods, emotional stress relief, eye desensitisation, metaphor work, cognitive behavioural strategies, behaviour change techniques, dialectical approaches and motivational interviewing.

Sessions are tailored to the individual, with specific therapies explored and adapted based on each person’s needs and responses. Outside of clinical work Georgio recuperates by spending time with his family and dogs, making music, playing soccer, reading and engaging with psychological philosophies, all of which inform his practice and approach to therapeutic change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Georgio commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness therapy in his work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, non-judgmental relationship that helps people explore their goals and values, which can be particularly helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating life transitions. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, depression, panic and coping with stress. Mindfulness therapy introduces practices that increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, which can reduce reactivity and improve coping with trauma, cravings and mood fluctuations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Georgio works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences and goals, and he adapts methods over time to find the combination that best supports progress and well-being.

Online therapy with Georgio is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support continuity of care across locations and offer different formats to match how a person feels most comfortable engaging in the work.
