About Alanah
Alanah Dalli Neuens is an AASW social worker with ten years' experience in Australia. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, grief, self-esteem and coping with major life changes.
Alanah often supports people dealing with attachment issues and communication problems. She also helps those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse. Her practice includes work around guilt, shame, finding life purpose and women's issues.
Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation. She uses listening and questions to help people spot patterns in relationships and behaviour. The goal is to develop everyday skills for managing anxiety, grief and difficult interactions at home.
Alanah draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current responses. She also uses client-centred ways of working that put the person's experience at the centre of each session. Together these approaches guide therapy toward relationship patterns and present worries.
She has worked in community and specialist settings since 2013. That experience includes supporting people after domestic violence and helping parents and other adults manage parenting stress and family conflict. People who choose her tend to be seeking practical steps and clearer communication at home.
How sessions work
How attachment and client-centred approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. In an online session this can mean noticing patterns in how someone connects, responds to conflict, or manages closeness. It helps when recurring family tensions or long-standing trust issues are the problem.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and pace. The therapist listens, reflects and follows the client's lead so problems are explored in ways that feel manageable. This approach suits people who want clear, person-focused conversation about stress, grief and parenting pressures.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and decide together what methods to try. That collaborative process means adjustments can be made as understanding grows.
Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into busy days and reduce travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, join from elsewhere when you cannot be in the office, or continue therapy while juggling parenting or work. Confirm the specific session formats available with the therapist before booking.
