Hurt feelings don't vanish on their own. They don't heal themselves. If we don't express our emotions, they pile up like a debt that will eventually come due.
(Marc Brackett)
About me
My name is Nanny Gomiero; I have a psychology degree through PUC-Rio in Brazil. I worked with mental health and AOD in Therapeutic Community settings and private practice for more than 6 years in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. I came to Australia in 2015, where I studied a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Teaching. I worked with children, parents and carers in the childcare industry for 5 years. In 2020, I was accepted and recognised by ACA (15556) as a counsellor. In the same year, I started my Master of Counselling at the University of Canberra. I'm currently working on my online private practice. My base approaches are cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and client-centred counselling (CCC). However, I believe that professional development is ongoing, and my main focus is on evidence-based approaches.
