Pedro Campiao
PSYCHOTHERAPIST | FACILITATOR | EDUCATOR
Byron Bay Australia
Welcome
I’m Pedro Campiao, an industry-accredited psychotherapist, educator, and retreat facilitator with almost thirty years of clinical experience. I have been in private practice in the Byron Bay area of the Northern Rivers, NSW, since 2008. I offer counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and couples in Mullumbimby and online.
I believe that many of the symptoms and struggles people bring to therapy can be understood as the stirrings of a life wanting to unfold towards healing, greater authenticity, and wholeness—inviting us into a deeper connection with ourselves, our bodies and emotions, the people we love, the wider community, the broader ecology of life, and whatever we experience as sacred or meaningful.
Therapy can support us in listening to ourselves in a deeper way, allowing us to remember who we are beneath the strategies we have developed to survive, while also supporting us to unfold and grow into who we are becoming and to embody our deepest potentials.
"The symptom itself may be the first expression of the soul's attempt to heal."
— Thomas Moore
I offer a grounded and skilled therapeutic space shaped by wisdom, curiosity, and compassionate presence. My integrative approach draws from somatic, emotion-focused, relational, and transpersonal traditions, creating a place where depth, safety, and authenticity can meet.
I invite you to explore my site, and I look forward to connecting with you.
Pedro
