About Me
ACA REGISTERED COUNSELLOR
Hi, I’m Gaby
I'm a professional therapist and member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).
Originally from Brazil, I've been on my own journey of self-discovery since my early twenties. For a long time, I felt like I was simply getting through life rather than truly living it. Therapy helped me through some hard times, understand myself better and find healthier ways to approach my relationships, decisions and everyday life. I genuinely don't think I'd be the woman I am today without it.
I've always been fascinated by the human mind and why we do the things we do. Why is it that even when we know something isn't making us happy, changing it can feel so difficult? And how do we find our way forward when life doesn't turn out as we imagined?
One of the most valuable lessons I've learned is that life isn't a straight line. We can't control everything that happens, but we can develop healthier ways to cope with challenges, navigate uncertainty and respond to life's difficulties.
As a woman, I know how easy it is to get caught up in expectations, responsibilities and the pressure to be everything to everyone. Sometimes, even the things we thought would make us happy don't turn out quite as we imagined.
That's why I believe therapy isn't only for difficult times. It's also an opportunity to grow, explore new possibilities and create a life you genuinely enjoy living.
And that's what makes this work so meaningful to me. I've experienced how much therapy can change the way we see ourselves and our lives, and I want other women to have the opportunity to discover that for themselves, too.
