Gabriella Gandi, M.Couns

Integrative Psychotherapist

“You have a good life, but something feels missing. Perhaps you're wondering: 'what is the purpose of life?', 'what is the meaning of my life?', and 'how can I create a more fulfilling life?' Maybe you are in the middle of an existential crisis, contemplating a career transition, or experiencing spiritual awakening. Everything that made sense for you in the past, just doesn't anymore. And deep down, you know something has to change, which feels deeply unsettling. In Clarity Counselling, I hold space for you to explore your inner intricacies, clarify your authentic values, and tune in to who you are becoming. Together, we will work through any fears or limiting beliefs that come up during the process, and make space for the truth of who you are.”

About Me

Over the past 6 years, I have made countless attempts and trialled various methods to get clear on my life purpose. Some of them straight out flopped, others worked for a while but then didn’t, and a select few had become my most trusted companions in my journey of accessing clarity. Along the way, I left a career that wasn’t fulfilling my soul, went on a completely different pathway, and created Clarity Counselling to guide others as they embark on their own journey towards a more meaningful and purposeful life.

Approach

I believe that the truth emerges when we restore the connection between our mind, body, and soul. Within our sessions, I use somatic (mind-body connection) modalities, attachment theory, and intuitive counselling. Additionally, I utilise Human Design to draw insights about how you can access clarity in your own unique way.
