Meet our founder

Dr Gabe Marranci,

Ph.D, MACA (20597)

I'm a registered psychotherapist and counsellor with a unique blend of training in cognitive psychology, anthropology, and applied neuroscience. I’m also an Adjunct Clinical Fellow in Counselling at Edith Cowan University, contributing to the development of future practitioners.. Alongside my work as a therapist, I’ve taught, researched, and written extensively about mental health and human behaviour.

What drives me most is helping people heal — not just in theory, but in the room, where change becomes real. I moved from full-time academia into private practice because I wanted to walk beside people as they navigate what hurts, what’s heavy, and what’s ready to shift.

Seeing clients reconnect with themselves — feeling lighter, freer, and more hopeful — is deeply meaningful work. Act Right Now Counselling was born from this mission: to offer thoughtful, evidence-based support that meets you where you are and helps you grow.

If you’re imagining a better version of life, one that feels more grounded and true to you, I’d be honoured to help you get there.

I’m committed to a lifelong path of learning and growth—and to sharing the knowledge and therapy tools that support real change.

My approach to therapy is grounded in experience, but always evolving. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and a more grounded life. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can face what’s difficult, develop new insights, and gain the confidence to move forward.

Let’s connect and explore how Act Right Now Counselling can support your next step.
