About Pedro
Pedro Leone is an ACA counsellor and AHPRA-registered practitioner with eight years of clinical work in Australia. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. He also supports people dealing with relationship and family difficulties and practical worries around money and daily life.
Pedro uses approaches that aim to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with steps people can try between meetings. He explains ideas in plain language and keeps tasks small so they fit into busy lives.
Many clients come with long-term concerns such as persistent anxiety or depression. Pedro also works with people facing life transitions like ageing, caregiving, adoption and foster care issues, or chronic illness. He pays attention to attachment and the ways early experiences affect current relationships.
Pedro is comfortable working in English, Spanish and Portuguese. He draws on a mix of techniques to help people build resilience and improve day-to-day functioning. Sessions are collaborative, with the client setting the pace and goals.
He invites new people to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. That initial step helps identify priorities and find a schedule that suits each person. Pedro aims to make therapy straightforward and useful from the first few sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Pedro uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviours and building practical coping skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding, which can ease anxiety and low mood. He also uses brief suggestion-based techniques that support behaviour change and goal-directed work, useful for habits, motivation and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Pedro discusses styles and options with each person and together they decide what fits the client's goals, pace and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and manageable.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session format options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue care during busy or unpredictable periods. Confirm available session types and scheduling details when you start the matching process so arrangements match your needs.
