About Adriana
Adriana Narai is an ACA counsellor practising in Australia with three years of independent practice experience. She works with individuals and couples who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship conflict. Adriana aims to help people feel calmer and more connected as they work through difficult moments.
Her style is gentle and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding patterns in emotions and relationships, and on building new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Adriana uses a trauma-informed lens to keep the pace appropriate and to reduce reactivity. Adriana draws on Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She helps clients notice inner parts or attachment patterns and then practise different ways of relating to themselves and others.
This can be useful for problems like abandonment fears, attachment issues, codependency, and commitment worries. She also supports people coping with body image concerns, chronic pain or illness, guilt and shame, loneliness, and family of origin difficulties. Practical work in sessions includes improving communication, setting boundaries, and managing overwhelming feelings in the moment.
Adriana aims to make therapy accessible and respectful. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore what matters to them and try out new ways of being.
How Adriana’s approaches work online
Adriana uses Internal Family Systems and Emotionally Focused Therapy alongside evidence-based techniques to guide online work. Internal Family Systems helps people identify different inner parts and understand how those parts influence feelings and behaviour; it can reduce internal conflict and self-criticism. Emotionally Focused Therapy focuses on attachment and connection, helping people notice patterns in relationships and learn new ways to respond that increase closeness and reduce reactivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adriana collaborates with clients to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and comfort level. She adjusts the pace and methods as people learn more about what helps them most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and non-verbal cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit around busy days or offer ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations and to fit appointments into a working week.
