Practical Pillars
Hi, I’m Pietro
I’m a social worker supporting children, young people, and families in Gladstone and Biloela.
Having grown up in Western Australia, I began my career working with vulnerable families there before continuing my work in Queensland. Over the past 15 years, I’ve supported over 1,000 families across community and government settings. That experience has shaped a calm, practical, and respectful approach to support.
How I work
As a social worker, I take a holistic and trauma-informed approach. I look at the whole picture around a child, including what is happening at home, at school, and in everyday life. Support focuses on safety, trust, and what will genuinely help families feel more settled, supported, and confident over time.
Who I support
I work with children and families who are experiencing challenges related to:
• Autism and ADHD
• Big emotions and emotional regulation
• Anxiety and overwhelm
• Behaviour and transitions
• Social connection and confidence
What families say
Families often reflect that my experience and approach help bring clarity and calm to complex situations. They report feeling more confident, better equipped, and clearer about how to support their child after working with me.
Face-to-face support is available in Gladstone and Biloela, including for NDIS participants.
Practical, real-life support that fits families and everyday routines.
