About Giovanni
Giovanni (Arnie) Rodia offers a straightforward, person-centred way of working. He starts by listening and helping people make sense of what is troubling them. His style is calm and direct, aimed at making sessions feel manageable from the first meeting.
Arnie has three years of professional experience supporting people with stress and anxiety. He also works with addictions, trauma and abuse, and depression. He helps people dealing with issues linked to LGBT identity and sexuality.
Background and approach
Many clients come with problems such as social anxiety, guilt and shame, or struggles linked to attachment and abandonment. In conversation he focuses on each person’s strengths and practical steps they can try between sessions. He tries to make goals clear and realistic so progress is easier to notice.
Sessions are a place to talk things through, try new ways of coping, and review what helps. Arnie is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That credential is shown as BACP.
He works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. He does not currently take international clients. Signing up for therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.
Many people find the first step the hardest part, and he aims to make that process simple and supportive.

Online support
A second approach involves practical coping strategies that target stress, anxiety and addictive behaviours. These are straightforward steps and exercises people can try between sessions to manage difficult moments and track small improvements over time.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they will review what works and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit those who prefer not to use video, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around busy schedules.
