About Amalina
Amalina Yahya is an ACA and PACFA counsellor practising in Australia with 12 years of experience. She offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship tensions and parenting strain.
Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. Sessions are warm and interactive. Amalina focuses on listening first, then helping people try small, workable changes that fit their life.
She commonly helps with self-esteem, coping with life changes and relationship issues. Amalina also supports people struggling with attachment concerns, blended family pressures and family of origin problems. She works with caregivers who are feeling burned out and with young adults finding their feet.
Amalina uses a mix of person-centred, psychodynamic and rational-emotive ideas to shape her work. That means she pays attention to how past relationships affect the present, values your personal goals, and challenges unhelpful beliefs in simple, practical ways.
Sessions aim to build greater self-understanding and clearer communication. Amalina encourages realistic steps - not big, sudden shifts. Her style is respectful and compassionate, with a focus on what can change now.
If someone is ready to begin, Amalina supports a steady, paced process that adapts as needs evolve. She helps clients set goals and review progress to make therapy feel relevant and useful.
How Amalina's approaches translate to online therapy
Person-centred work focuses on valuing each person's experience and building a trusting, supportive conversation. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, clearer priorities and space to reflect on parenting and relationship choices.Psychodynamic ideas look at how early relationships and family patterns shape current behaviour. In online sessions this can help uncover repeated patterns in family of origin issues, attachment concerns and ongoing relationship dynamics.
Rational-emotive methods aim to spot and challenge unhelpful beliefs that fuel anxiety or low self-esteem and replace them with more useful ways of thinking. This is practical for managing worry, improving communication and building confidence.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Amalina will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust methods as the work progresses. She aims to find what feels most helpful rather than insisting on a single technique.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy family routine and reducing travel time, which can make regular check-ins easier to sustain. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, please confirm available options before booking. Amalina will work with clients to find session arrangements that suit their schedules and daily responsibilities.
