Stefano is a Registered Psychologist with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology (Honours) and a Master of Organisational Psychology, registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). With close to a decade of experience, Stefano has worked across a diverse range of settings, including corporate, clinical, and private practice, supporting individuals and teams across industries such as finance, telecommunications, healthcare, education, government, construction, mining, and retail. He has delivered services through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), telehealth, and face-to-face sessions, adapting his approach to meet clients where they are, whether in the office, at home, or somewhere in between.
Stefano is committed to delivering best-practice, evidence-based psychological services aimed at enhancing the well-being, performance, and life satisfaction of the individuals he works with. His practice is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when insight meets action, and that the therapeutic relationship should be both supportive and honest. His strengths lie in his ability to build genuine rapport while remaining direct; he won’t shy away from difficult conversations or uncomfortable truths when that’s what’s needed to move forward.
In private practice, Stefano works with adults presenting with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and panic, stress and burnout, perfectionism, low mood and motivation, attention and focus difficulties, procrastination and decision-making, workplace issues and executive coaching, relationship difficulties and conflict resolution, career transitions and personal development, sports and performance psychology, healthy ageing, and grief and loss.
Stefano tailors his therapeutic approach to the unique needs and goals of each client, utilising evidence-based modalities such as:
• Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• The Gottman Method (CBT)
Outside of his professional work, Stefano is a proud and dedicated father. He is passionate about keeping active and staying fit, and has a strong passion for cooking. He is also the self-proclaimed top sourdough baker on his street.
