More about Tara

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • AASW

I am an accredited Social Worker and Counsellor in Australia with over 16 years of professional experience working across hospitals, community health and mental health settings. I also own and operate a private practice, which offers a range of services from social welfare support to family therapy.

I am passionate about helping clients with managing anxiety, relationships, family conflict, perinatal mental health, carer stress, trauma, grief & loss, eating disorders, & parental stress. My purpose as a Social Worker has always been to empower individuals to become the expert of their own life.

And the first step to feeling empowered is to build your self confidence and resilience by learning practical and emotional skills to effectively rise above adversity.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. And I will methodically tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am honoured that you have chosen my services to support you on your journey towards clarity and peace.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
