Tanya is a Clinical Psychologist with a background in educational and developmental psychology. Fully registered as a psychologist since 1999, she is experienced in the full range of presentations of mental illness in adults aged 18 and above, including, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Tanya has experience in supporting individuals to maximise quality of life in the face of chronic pain and/or injury. Tanya has a special interest in survivors of child abuse and how trauma affects the mind and body. She is also passionate about helping people to understand how to recognise and maintain healthy relationships and interested in how attachment patterns formed in childhood influence this.

Tanya is trained in providing care to women who are experiencing postnatal depression and anxiety. At present, Tanya is not taking on any clients who are currently in situations where they are being traumatised. She is also not trained in couples therapy or family therapy and therefore cannot provide this service.

Tanya's treatment approach involves a combination of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Schema Therapy depending on the needs of the person, as well as utilising principles for interpersonal neurobiology and polyvagal theory, all within a trauma informed framework. Only evidence-based techniques are utilised.

Tanya prides herself on being able to connect with people of all walks of life and she strives to provide a warm, caring and supportive environment for all clients."
