Georgio Laporta, NCPS

Georgio Laporta draws on a decade of experience supporting people through major life challenges. He combines practical talking therapy with attention to how thoughts, body and everyday habits interact. Georgio aims to help people feel steadier, regain direction and make manageable changes to daily life.

He has worked as a counsellor, psychotherapist and acting psychologist and now focuses on helping people recover after trauma, substance use, diagnosis and illness. He also supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, mood changes and issues with self-esteem and identity.

Georgio uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Sessions can include mindful practices, cognitive techniques and narrative work that helps people tell their story differently. He looks at both thinking patterns and the body’s role in feeling better.

His background includes studies in psychotherapy, psychology, applied kinesiology and hypnotherapy and he draws on that range when planning sessions. Georgio listens for the small patterns that keep people stuck and then helps find simple steps to change them.

Outside of work he spends time with family and his dogs, makes music and plays football for a local club. Those interests feed into a practical style that values steady progress over quick fixes.

How Georgio’s approaches translate online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building an understanding of what matters to the individual. Online sessions let the counsellor centre the conversation on the person’s priorities and pace, which can help with self-esteem and life direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical ways to change unhelpful patterns. This approach works well for anxiety, panic and mood issues and adapts to video or phone sessions through guided exercises and homework.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve sleep. Short guided exercises are easy to do during video calls or as part of text-based check-ins between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Georgio will collaborate with each person to try techniques and agree what feels most helpful based on goals and day-to-day life. That ongoing tailoring helps people find approaches they can use outside sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls are useful for face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel without the need to attend in person.
