   About Nanny

   Nanny Gomiero is an ACA credentialed counsellor based in Australia with ten years of practice supporting people through hard life moments. She works with those coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges and depression. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aiming to make the first step feel less daunting for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

   Her approach centres on listening first and tailoring sessions to each person. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and client-centred principles that keep the person’s perspective in focus.

   In practical terms sessions involve talking through what matters most, setting small achievable goals and trying out different ways of coping between meetings. She will also use cognitive behavioural strategies to examine unhelpful thinking and emotionally-focused techniques where relationships and feeling states are central.

   Her work often addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, guilt and shame, immigration challenges, infidelity, loneliness and searching for life purpose.

   Conversations can be held in English or Portuguese. If someone is ready to begin, they are invited to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

   Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional patterns, helping people understand relational triggers and build more secure ways of relating. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change, useful for goals like reducing avoidance or improving self-care. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathy and acceptance while the client decides the pace and topics.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to test approaches, adjust based on what helps, and set achievable goals together. This means the style of work can change over time to match emerging needs and preferences.
   
   Confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also offers flexibility for people juggling childcare, work breaks or health constraints. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt exercises, homework and communication styles to work well in remote sessions, while focusing on practical skills and emotional understanding rather than guaranteeing outcomes.
