About Nanny

Nanny Gomiero is an ACA counsellor based in Australia with ten years of practical experience supporting people through hard times. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns and depression. She speaks English and Portuguese and aims to make starting therapy as simple as possible.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first and asks questions to understand the immediate problem. Sessions are collaborative - she helps clients set clear goals and chooses techniques that match those goals.

Background and approach

People can expect straightforward conversations and practical steps they can try between meetings. Nanny draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships and early experiences shape emotional patterns. She also uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.

Motivational interviewing may be used when people want support making a change. She works with a wide range of issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, immigration adjustment, infidelity, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Nanny aims to break worries into manageable parts rather than overwhelm clients with theory.

Practicalities such as session format and pacing are decided together. She explains options clearly and helps people find a routine that fits their life. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to connect with the right path forward.

Online support

How relational approaches work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional patterns that keep people stuck. It helps with feeling overwhelmed, attachment pain and relationship-related emotions by naming emotions and working through them in session.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current responses to stress and closeness. It can help people understand why they react strongly in relationships and practise new, calmer responses.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and non-judgement while clients lead the pace and topics of sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then try techniques that match those aims. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made together so the work feels useful and doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or journalling between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare and other commitments while still working with an appropriately qualified counsellor.
