Gino believes therapy works best when it’s a partnership—rooted in safety, trust, and a shared curiosity about what’s possible. Clients often describe Gino as calm, compassionate, and grounded. He helps people slow down, tune in to what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin making sense of patterns that once felt confusing or out of control.
Therapeutic Approach
Gino works from the belief that real change involves both insight and experience—the head and the heart. His sessions draw on evidence-based and experiential methods, blending EMDR, IFS (Parts Work), ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches to help clients reconnect with themselves and the people they care about.
Rather than focusing only on problems, Gino helps clients build a deeper awareness of their emotional world and the ways their body holds stress or past e
xperiences. He offers tools for staying grounded, improving emotional communication, and finding meaning even in difficult moments.
Couples Counselling
In his work with couples, Gino creates a supportive and neutral space where partners can safely express themselves and learn to listen with empathy. Drawing from emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based frameworks, he helps couples move beyond recurring arguments, address past hurts, and reconnect with the reasons they chose each other in the first place.
Whether the goal is to repair disconnection, navigate a transition, or deepen an already strong bond, Gino supports couples in cultivating a relationship that feels honest, intentional, and resilient.
Who He Works Best With
Gino works best with people who are ready—or at least open—to self-reflection and growth. His ideal client might be someone who’s tired of old patterns, curious about change, and willing to explore their experiences with openness. For couples, he’s a good fit for partners who want to move away from blame and toward understanding, teamwork, and mutual care.
Professional Background
Gino’s counselling practice is built on a lifelong commitment to learning and personal growth. He continually studies new frameworks and trauma-informed approaches, integrating them into his work so clients receive care that’s both compassionate and evidence-based.
His professional path has been shaped by the diversity of clients he’s supported—each story reinforcing his belief in people’s capacity for healing and transformation. He sees therapy as a creative process that unfolds uniquely for every person and relationship.
