My name is Alanah Dalli and I am a qualified and compassionate Social Worker and Counsellor with over a decade of experience supporting women, children, and families through some of life’s most complex and sensitive challenges. I currently hold membership with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW).
I am located in Sydney and since 2013 I’ve worked across both government and community settings, walking alongside women impacted by general life stress, parenting and relationship difficulties, anxiety, grief and trauma. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and supported.
Understanding the impact of trauma and creating safety in the therapeutic space.
A compassionate, non-directive approach that values your lived experience.
Helping you build a life aligned with your values, even in the presence of difficult emotions
Developing practical strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours
I believe that healing begins with compassion and connection. My counselling style is holistic and integrative. My aim is to work in collaboration with my clients and offer therapeutic care that is grounded in evidence to best support each person’s unique needs and goals. Please see the FAQ section for additional information about Fill Your Cup Therapy.
At Fill Your Cup Therapy, I invite you to begin each session by slowing down and sharing a warm cup of tea, coffee or your favourite comforting drink. This gentle ritual is more than a welcome, it’s an intentional pause. A chance to exhale, reconnect with your body, and arrive fully into the moment.
Across cultures, the act of pouring tea or preparing a warm drink has symbolised care, presence, and restoration. As Buddhist monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh once reflected:
“Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.”
I felt truly heard and supported in every session. It was a space where I could slow down, breathe, and finally feel safe to talk.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and empowerment, I’d be honoured to support to you in your journey.
