Amalina Yahya, ACA, PACFA

Amalina Yahya is an ACA and PACFA counsellor in Australia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also lists blended family issues, attachment and family of origin matters among her areas of interest.

Amalina writes simply and works directly. Sessions are conversational and practical. She listens for patterns in relationships and daily routines, then helps people try different ways of responding. Expect short-term strategies alongside deeper conversations about how earlier relationships affect current behaviour.

Her background includes work with multicultural families and young adults. She notes experience across a range of life stages and transitions. That experience informs how she frames problems and suggests next steps for day-to-day life in a blended household.

Therapy draws on person-centred ideas, psychodynamic thinking and rational-emotive approaches. Those methods are used to clarify feelings, shift unhelpful thoughts and understand repeating patterns. Amalina adjusts the mix of approaches to focus on what a person needs in the moment.

Sessions aim to improve communication, reduce overwhelm and build clearer boundaries. She emphasises practical changes you can try between meetings. People who are dealing with merging households, loyalty conflicts or co-parenting questions may find this plain, hands-on approach useful.
