About Nanny
Nanny Gomiero is an ACA counsellor in Australia with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges and depression. She also focuses on guilt and shame and related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and loneliness.
Nanny uses a practical, person-centred way of working. Sessions are conversational. She listens for how past events, relationships and beliefs keep a problem going. Then she helps people notice small, manageable changes they can try between sessions.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she pays attention to relationships and emotional patterns, and also looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to set realistic goals and to keep sessions forward-moving.
Nanny often helps people who feel stuck by guilt or shame linked to family roots, parenting choices, or relationship breaks. She invites practical steps rather than grand fixes, such as testing new ways to communicate or adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns.
Sessions are conducted in English and Portuguese. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Nanny uses attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and responses, which can help people understand persistent guilt or fears about abandonment. Client-centred listening means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying rather than directing. Cognitive behavioural techniques target specific thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or depressive moods in place, offering practical exercises to try between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean leaning more on relational exploration for some people, or on CBT-style skills for others, and adjusting over time based on what helps.
The practical benefits of online therapy are that sessions can be easier to fit into a busy week and can reduce travel time or interruptions. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to keep regular check-ins, try short follow-ups between face-to-face meetings, or fit a session into a lunch break when needed.
