About Pedro
Pedro Leone is an ACA counsellor registered with AHPRA who has worked in psychotherapy for eight years. He draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, stress and depression. Pedro speaks English, Spanish and Portuguese and offers sessions online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Pedro prefers a straightforward, practical style. He listens first and then helps people set small, workable goals. Sessions focus on useful steps a person can try between meetings, rather than long theoretical discussions.
How Pedro works
Common concerns he helps people with include relationship strain, low self-esteem and family-related stress. He also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, chronic illness and care-related strain. Pedro works with people who want clearer communication and more control over day-to-day reactions.
His background includes eight years of clinical practice using established approaches to create change and build resilience. Pedro adapts his methods to each person, aiming for strategies that fit everyday life. He explains options in simple language and checks in about what is working.
Pedro aims to make the first steps easy to follow. He can guide someone through a short plan or a longer process depending on needs. People who prefer practical, goal-focused sessions tend to find his style helpful.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Pedro uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses in daily life; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach emphasises skills for clearer communication and setting boundaries, which helps with relationship strain and codependency.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Pedro will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful and what feels workable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful when visual cues help the work, phone sessions are simpler when less bandwidth is available, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
