A new era within.
ANÉRA was created from a simple understanding: meaningful change does not come from doing more, but from relating differently to the inner world. A new era within reflects that shift, from urgency to awareness. ANÉRA offers contemporary psychotherapy, in person across the Sunshine Coast, via mobile sessions, and online worldwide.
Hi there, I’m Tabatha.
I’m a psychotherapist, and at my core, I’ve always been deeply curious about people, about what shapes them, what they carry quietly, and how they learn to survive, adapt, and relate to the world. That curiosity is what led me into this work, and it continues to guide how I sit with each person who walks into the therapy room.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Griffith University and I’m currently completing my Master’s degree in Psychotherapy, with a strong foundation in Gestalt Therapy through Gestalt Therapy Brisbane. My practice is trauma-informed, relational, and grounded in both depth and practicality.
Over the years, I’ve worked in high-complexity environments, including youth detention centres, courts, child protection services, and community-based family therapy programs. I’ve supported young people, individuals, and families navigating significant vulnerability, systemic involvement, and deeply rooted relational challenges. These experiences shaped me into a therapist who is steady, adaptable, and comfortable holding complexity.
Today, I work primarily with individual therapy and family-based support, helping people navigate emotional patterns, trauma experiences, relationship dynamics, identity shifts, and life transitions.
And when I’m not working, you’ll probably find me spending time traveling, going to concerts, training at the gym, or seeking spaces that allow me to slow down and reconnect — the same balance of depth and movement that I value in life and in therapy.
ANÉRA reflects that balance: thoughtful, grounded work for complex humans.

My approach
I’m a warm therapist. Clients often tell me that before anything else, they feel at ease. I take the work seriously, but not myself too seriously. There’s space for humour in the room when it belongs there. There’s space for honesty. There’s space for being fully human.
My work is deeply relational. I don’t sit back as a distant expert. I’m present. Engaged. Curious. Therapy, for me, is not something I “apply”, it’s something we build together in real time.
As an immigrant, I’m also deeply aware of the layers people carry (cultural shifts, identity questions, invisible adaptations). I understand what it means to translate yourself across spaces, to belong in more than one world and sometimes feel fully at home in neither. That awareness shapes how I listen.
My foundation is in Gestalt Therapy, which means I pay attention to what is happening now, in the body, in the room, in the dynamic. I’m interested in the patterns beneath the patterns. At the same time, I integrate other tools when they are useful: trauma-informed relational work, developmental and attachment-based approaches, CBT strategies, elements of subconscious exploration, and systemic perspectives such as Family Constellations.
I don’t believe in forcing a model onto a person. I work responsively. Sometimes that means depth and exploration. Sometimes it means practical tools. Sometimes it means slowing down long enough to notice what has never been given space before.
Therapy with me is steady, honest, and attuned. We work toward emotional regulation, relational clarity, and a stronger sense of internal alignment, not through quick fixes, but through meaningful awareness that actually shifts how you live.
