About Nanny
Nanny Gomiero is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with more than 10 years of experience supporting people through difficult times. She works with individuals coping with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges and depression. Her style is warm and respectful, with an emphasis on listening first and tailoring support to each person.
Her sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. She helps people notice attachment patterns, manage strong emotions and improve everyday communication. Codependency, family of origin issues and caregiver stress are among the concerns she addresses alongside mood and relationship-related difficulties.
She blends client-centred work with tools from cognitive behavioural therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas are used to explore how early relationships shape current needs. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change.
Nanny is comfortable working in English and Portuguese and aims to build a collaborative plan with each person. She explains options clearly and sets small, achievable goals so progress feels manageable. Her approach suits people who want both empathy and concrete steps.

How attachment and practical approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present emotions and behaviours; it helps people understand patterns that affect trust, closeness and boundaries. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, giving people space to find their own solutions with the counsellor reflecting and supporting them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can ease mood problems and reduce anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Sessions can blend approaches so practical tools sit alongside deeper relational conversation.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can suit a work break, or video sessions let people use visual cues in conversation. The counsellor will discuss what will work best for timing, pace and the types of exercises most helpful for the individual's situation.
