Gabriela Stilita is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in Broulee, NSW. She works from a Telehealth Clinic only, serving people across Broulee NSW 2537. If you prefer sessions from home, that’s the set-up here.
Gabriela offers support for individuals, couples, and families. Therapy can be for all sorts of reasons, but often it’s about getting through tough times, sorting out communication, or making changes that feel manageable in real life. In many cases, people come in after they’ve tried to cope on their own for a while, and things still feel stuck.
Sessions are also available to do behavioural assessments. These can be useful when you and the therapist want a clearer picture of what’s going on, and what might help next. The goal is usually not just to talk about what happened, but to work out practical steps that fit your day-to-day routine.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is one of the key approaches used. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Over time, it can help you spot patterns that keep things going in circles, and then try out new ways of responding. It’s not about pretending things are fine. It’s more about building skills you can use when life gets messy.
For couples, the work often centres on understanding each other better and improving the way problems get handled. For families, it can mean helping everyone deal with changes, stress, and the knock-on effects that can show up at home. At times, the session includes the family system as a whole, not only one person.
Language-wise, Gabriela is comfortable working in English and Portuguese. That can make sessions feel easier if you’d rather explain yourself in the way that comes most naturally.
When it comes to experience, the main thing is the focus on real conversations and steady support. You’ll usually leave sessions with something concrete to take into the week, rather than vague ideas. It’s a calm, grounded approach that aims to help you move forward at a pace that feels right.
