The Centre's Managing Director

 

ALDO GURGONE

Clinical Psychologist Aldo Gurgone is a well-known Australian relationships therapist. He has been practising family therapy since 1972. His experience and background in family therapy spans work in Australia, the UK and Italy.

Aldo established the William Street Family Therapy Centre in 1987 as a centre of excellence in family and relationship therapy and professional training. William Street Family Therapy Centre has built a strong reputation for both therapy and training excellence. This is due in no small part to our team of experienced and qualified family therapists and trainers.

Aldo's vision involves providing the best family and relationship therapy training and client services available. As part of this he has recruited experienced training staff (see below) who together with Aldo provide training and assistance to a wide range of family therapy professionals annually.
