About Roberta
Roberta Gomes is a PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship strains. She also helps people managing trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem issues and life changes.
Roberta uses practical talking and skills work in sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and mindfulness practices to help people notice difficult feelings and choose values-based action.
People turn to her for help with family and relationship conflict, including blending households and the tricky routines that come with stepfamily life. She supports those coping with grief, caregiver stress, chronic health problems and the fatigue that can follow helping others.
Her style is collaborative and client-centred. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can fit into everyday life. Roberta works in English and Portuguese and the practical tasks she suggests reflect a person’s daily routines and responsibilities.
For someone worried about merging households, co-parenting tensions or loyalty conflicts, Roberta offers straightforward conversation and evidence-informed tools. She asks about current challenges, helps set realistic short-term goals and reviews progress each session. To begin, clients use the service’s matching and booking process to arrange a first session.
How Roberta uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Mindfulness Therapy involves brief practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity; it can support emotional regulation and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Roberta will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and household routines. They can allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and suit quieter times of day. Roberta’s practical exercises and skills work translate to remote sessions, and discussion about what works best for a person is part of the first appointment.
