About
Hello, I'm Yakira
I'm a qualified Counsellor with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Brazil and a Diploma of Counselling from the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC). I'm also an Associate Member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).
With over seven years of life in Australia, I offer counselling in both English and Portuguese, bringing a culturally aware and deeply empathetic approach to every session.
My purpose is simple: to walk alongside you as you navigate life's challenges — helping you reconnect with your inner strength, gain clarity, and cultivate lasting emotional well-being. Every session is guided by genuine care, professionalism, and a heartfelt commitment to your journey.
