Nanny Gomiero , ACA

Nanny Gomiero is an ACA counsellor in Australia with ten years of experience supporting people through hard seasons. She responds calmly to stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and depression, and brings steady care to parenting challenges.

Her style is warm and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on simple, usable steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.

Nanny often works with issues tied to relationships and attachment, including abandonment, family of origin concerns and codependency. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, immigration-related pressures, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties with communication and intimacy.

Her clinical approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural tools. That mix lets people explore emotions, change unhelpful thinking, and practise new ways of relating. Motivational interviewing and emotionally-focused methods are used when clients want clearer goals or deeper emotional repair.

Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and can be arranged in formats that suit the client. Nanny aims to create a reliable, respectful space where people can address mood disorders, grief, life purpose questions and relationship wounds. Reaching out is framed as a beginning of practical change, not just talk.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and change

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports new ways of connecting and feeling secure. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, with the therapist following the client’s pace and priorities to build understanding and self-direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and past experiences, then suggest methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as people learn what helps them most.

Online therapy can fit into busy lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging can help people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practise skills between meetings.
