Luigi Romanelli, AASW

Luigi Romanelli is a Launceston, Tasmania based social worker with 20 years of clinical experience supporting people through change, strain, and uncertainty. He combines relationship counselling and sex therapy with clinical hypnotherapy and general counselling, offering in-person and online sessions for clients across Australia.

People come to Luigi when patterns feel stuck, confidence has waned, or stress, sexuality, performance, or relationship dynamics begin to affect daily life. He works effectively with men facing pressure around identity, intimacy, and responsibility, and with women seeking steadier connection and clearer direction. His practice also addresses stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, and intimacy-related concerns among other areas of focus.

Luigi takes a practical, collaborative approach that helps clients slow down, track what drives their responses, and regain a sense of choice. He integrates client-centered counselling, clinical hypnosis, and mindfulness-based strategies alongside evidence-informed psychological frameworks, applying these methods carefully and at the client’s pace. Sessions are conversational and focused, with active reflection and noticing between meetings rather than quick fixes, and an emphasis on regulation, clarity, and changes that hold up under real-world pressure.

He is a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), which reflects his standing within the professional social work community, and practises as an Australian registered social worker. Luigi also fulfils mandatory reporter responsibilities under Australian law. This service is not a crisis or emergency response.

Online therapeutic approaches and what to expect

Luigi works with several practical approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and explore their own values and choices; it is useful for building self-awareness, addressing relationship concerns, and navigating life transitions. Clinical Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access inner resources, reframe unhelpful patterns, and support change around issues such as performance, habit, or stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, offering tools to manage anxiety, regulate emotions, and improve focus in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Luigi collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so it remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for busy schedules and for people who cannot attend in person. These formats allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain ongoing, consistent work while making support more accessible across distance and differing routines.
