About Amalina
Amalina Yahya is an ACA counsellor with 12 years' experience based in Australia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. Her work also covers parenting, self-esteem and coping with life changes, with a calm and encouraging manner.

Background and approach
This background informs practical help for everyday struggles. Sessions are warm and conversational. Amalina keeps things respectful and non-judgemental.
She avoids clinical labels and listens for what matters most to each person. Her approach blends person-centred, psychodynamic and rational-emotive ideas. That means she pays attention to your feelings and history, while also helping you challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping.
Therapy is tailored to your needs and adapts as you progress. Amalina aims to support people through specific problems like communication difficulties, attachment or caregiver stress. She also works with concerns such as emptiness, self-harm thoughts and building self-love.
Her style suits people who want practical tools alongside space to reflect. If someone is ready to start, she guides them through small first steps and creates a clear plan together. The focus is on steady progress and helping people make choices that improve daily life.
Online approaches and practical therapy options
Amalina draws on person-centred work that focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening carefully to what matters to you. This helps when someone needs emotional support, compassion and space to make sense of their feelings.She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring relationship patterns and how past experiences influence current behaviour. That approach is useful for attachment concerns, family of origin issues and understanding repeating difficulties in relationships.
Rational-emotive techniques are part of her practice too, helping people spot and challenge unhelpful thoughts and try more helpful ways of thinking. These strategies can be effective for anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Amalina will talk through options, try techniques together and adjust the plan to match a client's goals, preferences and pace. The therapeutic method can evolve as progress is made.
Online therapy gives flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone works where bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer writing. These formats help fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
