Therapy for complex humans.
We are a counselling practice offering contemporary, trauma-informed therapy for those seeking depth, clarity, and meaningful internal change. We’re based on the Sunshine Coast, Australia, with in-person sessions locally, via mobile sessions, and online therapy available worldwide.
We provide individual and family therapy, along with structured parenting support, in a way that is relational, trauma-informed, and deeply attentive to context.
Each process is shaped around the unique needs of the person or family, rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Therapy is available in English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Meet the founder
There are moments when something inside recognises that the old ways of coping are no longer working, not because anything is broken, but because the inner world is asking for a different kind of attention.
Much of what shapes us develops quietly, through relationships, expectations, and the need to adapt. Over time, these patterns can feel heavy, confusing, or misaligned, even when life appears “fine” on the outside.
Hi, there, I’m Tabatha, a psychotherapist working with individuals who want to understand these patterns more deeply.
I offer a space where inner experience can be met with presence rather than urgency — a space to slow down, make sense of what has shaped you, and begin to move through life with greater self-trust, emotional steadiness, and a clearer sense of who you are becoming.
