About Alanah

Alanah Dalli Neuens is an AASW social worker with ten years of practical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can be heard and begin to make sense of difficult feelings. Her approach is gentle and person-focused, helping people feel safer to talk about painful experiences.

Alanah draws on client-centred therapy to place each person’s needs at the centre of sessions. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships, communication and self-worth, then helps clients try small changes that can make daily life easier.

Her background includes a decade of work across community and clinical settings in Australia. That work has included supporting women who have experienced domestic violence, people managing anxiety and grief, and those navigating parenting and relationship stress. The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Alanah offers reflective listening, practical tools for coping, and gentle focus on how past relationships affect present feelings. She encourages realistic goals and gradual progress, and adapts pace to each person’s comfort.

People who come to her often need help with self-esteem, communication problems, grief or finding life purpose. She works in English and is based in Australia, bringing experience and a steady presence to each session.

Client-centred and attachment-informed online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist listens without judgement, mirrors what is said and helps clients find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-worth, improving decision-making and managing everyday stress.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people notice patterns in how they relate, and supports trying different ways of connecting and communicating. This can be helpful for issues like communication problems, relationship worry and some forms of anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions begin with listening and planning, then adapt as trust and clarity grow.
