About David
David Garozzo-Vaglio is an AHPRA-registered counsellor with seven years of experience. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or who are having trouble sleeping. He also supports those facing life changes and the challenges of ageing and chronic illness.
He works in a respectful and non-judgemental way. Sessions are adapted to each person’s needs and preferences. Conversation is practical and focused on small, manageable steps rather than long theory talks.
His background includes supporting people with panic attacks, phobias and mood disorders. He has also worked with people affected by post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury and process addictions such as problematic gambling or exercise. This range gives him experience with both short-term concerns and ongoing struggles.
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and will tailor the approach to the problem at hand. He aims to help clients build coping strategies, improve sleep patterns and find clearer purpose in daily life. Language options include English, French and Italian.
People meet him to talk through immediate problems and to set practical goals. He encourages honest conversation and works collaboratively on next steps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people with appointment options.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
David works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-style work, which helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding; this can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another frequently used method is behavioural work to change routines and habits, such as sleep routines or activity levels, which can help with sleeping problems and chronic pain management.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adapts techniques to what the client finds most useful. Over a few sessions they check what helps and adjust the plan together so it fits the person's life and priorities.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists who use evidence-based methods can still guide sleep routine changes, coping skills and behaviour experiments effectively through remote sessions, but check current options to see what is offered.
