I’m glad that you are here.
My passion is to journey with people toward inner healing, growth, and transformation. I use a holistic approach as we are multidimensional (Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual) beings. Every person is unique, therefore, I adopt an integrative approach in my therapeutic work to meet my clients’ unique individual needs and preferences. My counselling framework is underpinned mainly by Person-Centered therapy while drawing from other evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Trauma-informed, and Neuroscience understanding.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client is central to the success of therapy. Henceforth, I offer a gentle, non-judgemental, warm, and confidential space for you to process your concerns and work through those challenges/issues to live a more fulfilled life.
Marianna is a registered counsellor with the Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia & The Christian Counsellors Association of Australia.
I am a bilingual registered counsellor with the Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), offering therapy in both English and Arabic. Based in Brisbane, I work from a person-centred foundation, offering a warm, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you are deeply heard and supported.
I bring empathy, authenticity, and curiosity to each session, and view therapy as a collaborative journey. I walk alongside you through your challenges, gently helping you uncover unconscious patterns, explore inner conflicts, and make room for healing and change. Together, we work to cultivate greater self-understanding, emotional regulation, and meaning in your life.
Each person is unique, and I tailor my approach to suit your individual needs and preferences. My work is holistic and integrative, incorporating evidence-based modalities grounded in neuroscience, trauma research, and the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of human experience.
At Mind and Soul Counselling , our mission is to provide high-quality counselling services to individuals, couples, and families who are experiencing emotional or psychological difficulties.

Whether supporting parents, couples, or individuals, she offers insight that is both evidence-based and heart-centered.
Outside the therapy space, Marianna enjoys walking along the beach, practicing Pilates, and getting creative with art and crafts. Her family shares a love for the outdoors, often seeking out adventures in nature and trying new experiences together. A passionate foodie, Mariana also delights in exploring different cuisines and values the practice of mindful eating, especially when gathered around the table with loved ones.
