At Fill Your Cup Therapy, I support women through life’s challenges with compassion, care, and evidence-based counselling. My approach is grounded in safety, respect, and helping you reconnect with your strengths and values.
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.
I specialise in supporting:
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking a safe space to talk.
You don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
I believe that healing begins with connection to yourself, your story and to the support around you. My counselling style is holistic, collaborative, grounded in evidence-based methods and tailored to your unique needs and goals.
Together, we’ll explore your strengths and work through challenges in a way that promotes empowerment, safety, and lasting change.
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 honour that sentiment in my practice. The simple rhythm of brewing and sipping offers a mindful transition from the noise of the outside world into the calm of therapeutic space. I encourage you to bring your favourite mug and warm drink to our sessions because therapy is not just about talking; it’s about nourishing your whole self.
Research supports what many of us intuitively know: small, mindful rituals can calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and enhance a sense of emotional safety and connection (Vohs et al., 2013). This quiet moment to “fill your cup” literally and emotionally helps set the tone for a session that is grounded, compassionate, and attuned to your needs.
At Fill Your Cup Therapy, we believe healing begins not with urgency, but with presence.
Work through life’s challenges with calm, clarity, and practical support.
Build stronger, healthier connections by understanding your needs and patterns.
Explore what truly lights you up and reconnect with your purpose.
Gain confidence, direction, and tools to move forward in your professional life.
My practice is built on years of experience supporting women through anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Combining evidence based therapeutic approaches with genuine care to offer support that’s both effective and grounded. Every session reflects my commitment to a safe, respectful and evidence based approach.
