About Emanuela
Emanuela Bassi is a counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on anxiety, stress and related concerns. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected. Her tone is warm and straightforward, helping people find more ease in day-to-day life.
She sees anxiety alongside depression, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma and abuse. Emanuela pays close attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours. She talks about isolation and emptiness and helps people name what is happening inside them.
Background and approach
Her practice is person-centred and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on building a steady therapeutic relationship. Sessions aim to give people space to try out more authentic ways of being. Over time clients can practise new responses that feel safer in their wider relationships.
Across seven years of work she has supported people through issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency and family-of-origin problems. She can also help with challenges linked to autism and avoidant personality traits, substance concerns, dissociation and the stresses of caregiving. Sessions are offered in English and Italian.
Emanuela works from Australia and provides a mix of online session types to suit different needs. She encourages a gentle, collaborative pace so people can move forward without feeling rushed.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Her work is person-centred and trauma-informed. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening carefully and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood and can find their own solutions. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and feelings of disconnection by encouraging self-awareness and agency.Trauma-informed practice pays attention to how past relational hurt affects current reactions. It helps people learn new ways of relating to themselves and others, and is useful for trauma, dissociation and attachment concerns. Together these approaches aim to make therapy collaborative and paced to the individual's needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. This collaborative process allows adjustments over time so methods match changing needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversational work, phone is useful when video is difficult, and text options allow short check-ins or more frequent support. These formats give flexibility for fitting therapy into busy lives and for choosing the way of talking that feels most comfortable.
