About Nanny
Nanny Gomiero is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with 10 years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges and depression. She works in English and Portuguese and focuses on emotional and relational concerns rooted in attachment and family history.
Her sessions aim to help people name painful emotions and patterns that keep repeating. She uses a person-centred stance and practical strategies to help people notice how their feelings affect relationships and decisions. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address thinking patterns that feed anxiety and low mood.
Nanny pays particular attention to attachment-related themes such as abandonment, dependency and family of origin issues. She also assists with caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems and the effects of infidelity or immigration on mood and relationships. Concerns like emptiness, guilt, shame and isolation are part of her focus.
People meet her to talk through grief, to work on parenting strain, or to address longer-term mood disorders and trauma reactions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused, with attention to feelings and practical steps to reduce distress.
Her work mixes Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-informed listening and client-centred care. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas appear when people want clearer goals and momentum towards change.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people put words to strong emotions and to see how those feelings shape their relationships. It focuses on patterns of interaction and the underlying emotions that drive them, which can be useful for grief, attachment concerns and repeated relational difficulties.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonds and how they shape current behaviour and expectations. This approach helps when issues like abandonment, dependent personality or family of origin problems are part of the concern. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening, acceptance and following the person’s agenda to clarify goals and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods to use, based on needs, goals and preferences. That process can include trying an approach and adjusting it as progress unfolds.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about specific scheduling and session arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire and book your first appointment.
