About Georgio

Georgio Laporta is a counsellor and psychotherapist with ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on helping people recover a sense of control after trauma, substance use, diagnosis or illness. Georgio describes his work as a search for self, and he brings that aim into sessions in a straightforward, person-focused way.

He draws on a mix of psychological ideas to support change. Georgio uses client-centred ways of working so a person’s goals and experience guide sessions.

Background and approach

He also brings cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and routines. Meditation and mindfulness are part of his practice, especially when clients want tools to manage stress or anxiety. Narrative and trauma-focused approaches are used to make sense of painful experiences and reduce the power of difficult memories.

Georgio explains things plainly and looks for practical steps people can try between meetings. He has worked with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, parenting, ADHD and mood disorders. He also supports people facing chronic illness, blended family challenges and first responder issues.

Outside work Georgio spends time with his family and dogs, makes music and plays local football. His background includes studies in psychotherapy, psychology and related fields, and he brings an interest in the mind-body connection to his therapeutic practice.

Online support

How online approaches and practical therapies work together

Georgio draws on client-centred therapy to put the person's goals at the heart of each session. That means he listens first, then helps people define what they want to change and sets the pace to suit them. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and practical habits, and to try simple experiments that can ease anxiety, mood problems or sleeping and eating difficulties.

Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Georgio treats the choice as a collaboration - he will suggest options and review what helps most, adjusting methods to a client's goals and preferences as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people keep face-to-face contact when that matters. Phone sessions can fit into a work break and need less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people access regular support around busy lives and differing schedules.
