Roberta Gomes

Roberta Gomes is a PACFA counsellor based in Australia who helps people manage anger and related struggles. She speaks English and Portuguese and aims to make first steps feel manageable. Roberta frames sessions around what matters to each person and moves at a pace that feels right for them.

Roberta uses a client-centred style that listens first, then works out practical steps together. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and on mindfulness to build calm in the moment. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and guide behaviour change.

Her caseload includes stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, grief, trauma and abuse, and addictions. Roberta also supports people living with bipolar presentations, ADHD, chronic pain and relationship strain. Anger is a named focus and she helps people understand triggers and develop new coping skills.

Roberta has three years of professional experience. She aims for clear, straightforward sessions where people learn small, workable strategies. Expect practical tools, short experiments between sessions, and time to reflect on what is actually changing.

Starting therapy involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling through the service. Roberta works collaboratively to set goals and reviews progress as therapy continues. This approach suits people who want hands-on skills and a respectful, steady therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anger, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns and trying different behaviours to change outcomes; it often gives quick, practical tools for anxiety and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, past attempts, and preferences to choose methods together. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted if they do not fit or if life circumstances change.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practise skills in real-life settings and use home-based routines between sessions. Appropriately qualified therapists will adapt exercises for a remote setting and check in about what is working as therapy progresses.
