If you're looking for a run of the mill counsellor or mental health professional to assist with your mental health queries, feel free to contact one of my very capable colleagues. I look at life through a different lens, with a transpersonal -even spiritual- mindfulness-based filter. Expect to see life from a broader perspective, while still being very practical. Expect to work from the inside out: YOU will change, and then your circumstances will. Understanding how you (and your brain) operate will help you manage your emotions and behaviour more effectively. This, in turn, will make you less sensitive to (negative) emotion-shifts.

Working with adults and couples, postnatal mothers and partners the areas of counselling focus on are anxiety, stress, depression, wellness and vitality, career change, self-esteem, and couples.
At foundations and flow building client counsellor relationship is very important. Developing trust and providing a calm safe space for client's, helps support the process of getting to the core issue in the person life. This can then lead to the unfolding of self awareness and development also allowing the space to work together to building a strong foundation with the client where we can support a deeper connection to self and the empowerment to engage with life confidently. Postnatal counselling is an area I am passionate in supporting working with couples to support in what can be a tricky time of adjustment.

My name is Gabriele Ruggi Neto, and I’m an ACA Registered Counsellor (R83997) and psychotherapist working with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck after trauma and big life changes. Many of my clients are used to being the strong one for everyone else, but quietly struggle with worry, burnout, self doubt or repeating the same patterns in relationships. You might be functioning on the outside, but inside you feel tired, on edge or disconnected from who you really are, and you are ready for support that is calm, grounded and actually helpful in daily life.

My clients are high-functioning adults navigating life's pivotal moments — career changes, relationship shifts, transitions, burnout, and anxiety — as well as young people (12+) managing school-related challenges. These clients have often held it together for a long time but feel something has to change. At Re-ana Counselling & Psychotherapy, I offer a warm, unhurried space to make sense of what's happening and find a way forward. Using an integrated, evidence-based approach — informed by the National IAR-DST framework — I work collaboratively with each client to understand their unique story and rebuild with clarity and confidence.
