My name is Adriana and I am a registered counsellor based in the inner west of Sydney, Australia. I created Stabilise with the intention of providing trauma-informed education and care for anyone who needs it.

While completing my Bachelor’s in Counselling I became interested in the nervous system and the transformational work of trauma and relationship therapies. I have since completed trainings in Emotionally Focussed Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy, and have a particular interest working with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, and relationship issues. 

I use a person-centred, exploratory approach that focuses on providing empathy and non-judgmental acceptance to all my clients, as I guide them along their unique paths to healing.

In my experience as a counsellor, I have found that one aspect of counselling that has been transformational for many has been educating them about the nervous system and our emotions. By facilitating this safe exploration of their inner world, I have found that my clients can then be helped to develop the skills necessary to manage or resolve challenges in their life and relationships.

 I decided to create Stabilise as a resource that can be accessed outside of the therapy room for anyone who may need it, as healing is accessible to all. 

I am a Level 2 Member of the Australian Counselling Association, and currently offer sessions either in person in Newtown, or online via zoom. I work with both individuals and couples.
