Meet Mario
I have worked with men and women at different life stages, navigating anxiety, grief/loss, family and relationship difficulties, career uncertainty, and other challenges.
Some clients come with a specific concern; others arrive with a general sense that something needs to shift.
My approach is person-centred and informed by Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we focus on understanding what has been happening, exploring patterns that may have developed, and identifying practical, values-driven steps forward.
I draw on experience in crisis intervention and Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) services, and my work is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and non-judgemental. As an immigrant, father, and someone who has navigated significant adversity, I aim to provide a calm, thoughtful space where meaningful progress can occur.
I hold a Bachelor of Counselling and am a Level 2 member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).
Additionally, I run monthly workshops for fathers of children aged 0-3 years through Beer + Bubs in Canberra.
