Meet Mario

I have worked with men and women across different life stages, navigating anxiety, grief and loss, relationship strain, family challenges, career uncertainty, and periods of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. 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).
