Alanah Dalli Neuens, AASW

Alanah Dalli Neuens is a qualified and compassionate social worker and counsellor with over a decade of experience supporting women, children and families through complex and sensitive life challenges. Based in Sydney, she has worked across a range of settings and brings focused experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting and relationship difficulties, grief and trauma. She also has specific expertise supporting victims and survivors of domestic violence and people facing attachment issues or communication problems.

Alanah adopts a warm, non-judgemental approach designed to help clients feel heard and supported while they work through difficult emotions and practical concerns. Her practice addresses a wide range of needs including low self-esteem, coping with life changes, family problems, guilt and shame, and issues relating to sexual assault and abuse and women’s health. She is listed with the AASW (member of the Australian Association of Social Workers), reflecting her professional background in social work.

Clients can expect a calm, empathetic space where the focus is on practical coping strategies, rebuilding connection and exploring purpose and self-love at a pace that suits them. Alanah aims to tailor support to each person’s circumstances and priorities, helping them move toward clearer communication, safety and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Alanah draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. This approach helps people who struggle with closeness, relationship repeating patterns, or the emotional impacts of disrupted attachments to build safer, more secure ways of relating. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, offering an empathic, non-directive space where the client’s perspective guides the work; this method supports self-exploration, improved self-esteem and clearer decision making when facing life changes or uncertainty.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Alanah works collaboratively with each person to identify what best suits their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options, adapt methods over time and involve the client in shaping sessions so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Alanah is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility needs. These remote options make it easier to access appropriately qualified or registered professionals from home or other convenient locations, and to continue care during transitions or when in-person appointments are difficult to arrange.
