Nanny Gomiero

Nanny Gomiero is an ACA counsellor in Australia with over 10 years of clinical experience. She welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed and helps them find clearer ways forward. Her manner is warm and direct, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone who is unsure where to begin.

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and the everyday pressures of parenting. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and family of origin problems. Nanny pays attention to how painful past experiences show up in current relationships and mood.

Her approach blends attachment-based perspectives with client-centred listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy. This means sessions often include time to talk through feelings, reflect on relationship patterns, and try small behaviour changes between meetings. She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas and motivational interviewing to help people find momentum.

Nanny aims for straightforward, compassionate conversations. She helps clients set short-term goals and tests simple, doable strategies that can change daily routines. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client, with an emphasis on clarity and small wins.

She offers therapy in English and Portuguese and works from an Australia-based practice. If someone is ready to begin, the usual next step is to use the site Start Therapy button and complete a brief matching questionnaire to arrange a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. In sessions this involves noticing patterns in relationships, tracing where those patterns began, and practising new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and relies on empathic listening and respect. It helps people make sense of their feelings and decide what changes matter most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours as linked, and uses small experiments and skill practice to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adjust methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean starting with listening and reflection, then adding CBT tools or attachment-focused exercises as useful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering a quieter setting that reduces travel stress. It can also help maintain continuity when schedules change. An ACA counsellor will discuss practical arrangements and recommend a format that matches the client's circumstances and therapeutic goals.
