About Tia

Tia is a Registered Psychologist based in Canberra and also works via telehealth with clients from any location in Australia. Often with a cup of tea close by, Tia provides psychological services to adolescents (age 12+) and adults. She has a particular interest in working with young people, while warmly welcoming the opportunity to walk alongside people from all backgrounds and life experiences.

Tia aims to ground her work in curiosity, empathy, and a genuine desire to help others make sense of their experiences. Her therapeutic style balances helping clients feel seen and supported while working towards meaningful change and their individual goals.

Tia’s approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, individualised, and collaborative, drawing on several therapeutic frameworks, and tailoring her approach to her client's needs and preferences. Tia provides a space to learn practical tools, build insight, and move towards healing.

Tia approaches psychology from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective.

Tia is currently accepting new clients.
