Therapy that walks with you, not ahead of you.
Maybe you're exhausted from pretending everything is fine. Or you're stuck in the same emotional patterns and can't figure out why. Life has shifted and you're struggling to keep up. You don't need to carry this alone.
Meet Tanya
Tanya is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with years of clinical experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, life transitions and emotional overwhelm.
Her work draws on Emotion-Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy, and other evidence-based cognitive therapies, with a trauma-informed approach to every session.
Beyond the qualifications, Tanya believes therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation. When you're met with warmth instead of clinical distance.
Tanya started her private practice because she saw too many people feeling rushed, unheard and like a number in an overstretched system. She wanted to create something with more time, more presence and more room to work through what actually matters.
She's navigated her own seasons of change and knows how destabilising life transitions can feel.
It's that lived experience that helps her show up with groundedness, honesty and genuine investment in your wellbeing.
Services
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is deeper therapeutic work that helps you understand your emotions, patterns and life experiences. It's about making sense of why you feel the way you do and creating meaningful, lasting change through evidence based approaches.
Counselling
Counselling offers supportive, reflective conversations focused on what you're facing right now. Whether it's emotional stress, a difficult decision or a life transition, it's a space to process, gain clarity and feel heard.
Helping you understand your emotions, not just manage them.
My approach is relational, flexible and always centred on you as a whole person. Not just your symptoms or diagnosis, but your history, your relationships, your environment and what's actually happening in your life.
I draw on Emotion Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy and CBT, adapting my approach to suit what you need. Some sessions might focus on understanding emotional patterns. Others might be more practical and grounded in everyday life.
At the heart of it all is a belief that emotions aren't the problem. They're the pathway. When you start to make sense of what you're feeling and why, real change becomes possible.

Questions
I draw on a range of evidence based therapies including Emotion Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My practice is also trauma aware and attachment informed. I tailor my approach to suit you rather than applying a one size fits all method.
I support adults experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, relationship difficulties, grief, work stress and health related concerns. I have a particular focus on helping people who feel stuck or are navigating significant change in their lives.
I'm an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AASW) with extensive clinical experience across community, government and private settings. I've completed over 200 hours of clinical mentorship and ongoing professional development to ensure my practice remains current and effective.
Sessions are 50 to 60 minutes. Fees and rebate information are available on request. Medicare rebates apply if you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP.
Yes. If you have a Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, you can access Medicare rebates for up to 10 sessions per calendar year. Your GP can prepare this during a longer appointment. Private health funds may also offer rebates depending on your level of cover.
Yes. I offer sessions in person at Norwood, South Australia or via Telehealth. You can also combine both depending on what works for your life. Telehealth sessions are just as effective and allow for more flexibility.
It depends on what you're working through. Some people benefit from a few sessions during a difficult period. Others prefer longer term support to work through deeper patterns. We'll check in regularly and adjust as needed.
That's more common than you might think. Sometimes it's about finding the right fit or the right approach. My focus is on creating a space where you feel genuinely heard and understood, not rushed or judged. We'll work at your pace and in a way that makes sense for you.
You can book a free 15 minute connection call to see if we're the right fit. If you'd like to use Medicare rebates, speak with your GP about a Mental Health Treatment Plan first. From there, we'll book your first session and begin.
I welcome referrals and am committed to providing high quality, evidence based care for your patients. I work with a range of presentations including anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, life transitions and emotional dysregulation. I'm registered with Medicare and can provide reports or updates with client consent. If you'd like to discuss a referral or learn more about my approach, please get in touch.
Yes. I hold a provider number and can see clients who are approved under Return to Work arrangements. Sessions are funded through your work injury insurer once the referral and approval are in place. If you are unsure whether you are eligible, speak with your employer or insurer to confirm.
Depending on your level of extras cover, you may be able to claim a rebate for sessions through your private health insurer. Rebates vary between funds, so it is best to check directly with your insurer regarding eligibility, provider requirements, and any waiting periods that may apply.
