About Insieme Counselling

Giovanna Barulli Counsellor

Giovanna Barulli – Online Counsellor in Australia

I’m Giovanna Barulli, a registered counsellor with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA), currently completing a Master of Counselling with the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors (AIPC).

I founded Insieme Counselling to make online counselling in Australia accessible, flexible, and truly personal. My goal is to offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and explore whatever is happening in your life — from the comfort of your own home.

My Counselling Philosophy

I believe therapy should feel like a compassionate conversation, not a clinical appointment.
My role is to help you find insight, confidence, and emotional balance in a space that feels safe and judgment-free.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my grounded and gentle approach — one that balances empathy with clear, evidence-based strategies. I tailor every session to your needs, walking beside you at your own pace.

My Approach

I draw from Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Counselling, integrating each method with warmth, creativity, and professional skill.
Together, we work toward practical change while honouring your experiences and strengths.

Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, stress, emotional regulation, grief, relationships, or self-esteem, my aim is to help you build resilience and rediscover calm.

My Background

Before moving to Australia, I worked for over a decade as a psychologist and psychotherapist in Italy, supporting children, adolescents, and families in both clinical and educational settings.
This international experience gave me a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and the challenges of adjustment, belonging, and identity — topics that often arise in my work with clients here in Australia.

I’m fluent in English and Italian, and I love helping clients express themselves in whichever language feels most natural. This bilingual space often helps people connect more deeply with their emotions and stories.
