Pedro Leone, ACA, AHPRA

Pedro Leone has spent more than eight years delivering psychotherapy to people from a wide range of backgrounds, working with presentations such as anxiety, autism, depression, ADHD and alcohol and drug addiction among others. He draws on extensive clinical experience to address complex emotional and behavioural concerns while adapting his work to each person’s situation.

His practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and he has additional training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy. These methods are integrated to create personalised interventions aimed at fostering lasting behavioural change, greater self-awareness and improved resilience.

Pedro approaches therapy with a focus on practical strategies and collaborative planning, tailoring sessions to the individual goals and challenges presented. He aims to help people develop tools they can use beyond the therapy room to manage symptoms and support wellbeing.

He welcomes enquiries from those seeking support and would be honoured to contribute to a person’s mental health and overall wellbeing.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In practical, goal-oriented sessions clients learn skills to reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and develop coping strategies that can reduce anxiety, lift mood and improve everyday functioning.

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access resources within a person’s own experience. When combined with conversational therapy, it can support habit change, confidence building and strategies for managing stress and unhelpful patterns of behaviour.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) involves techniques to explore how people structure their thinking and communication. It can be used alongside other approaches to clarify goals, improve communication and try different ways of responding to familiar triggers.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Pedro works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access therapy without commuting. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow therapy to fit around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical, evidence-informed care delivered by appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists.
