About Me

Hi, I'm Tammy.

I've always been the person people come to. Not because I had all the answers, but because I knew how to be present with someone in their hardest moments; without rushing them, without fixing them, without making them feel like a problem to be solved. Growing up, I noticed the people on the edges of the room. The ones who looked lost, or lonely, or like they were hoping someone would just acknowledge they existed. I was that someone. I still am.

​

My mum saw it before I did. She was the one who said, "You should be a counsellor." And she was right.

​

I grew up in Dubai, where I studied Psychology and coached university athletics, working with young athletes not just on performance, but on the mental side of competing, pressure, and showing up as their best selves. That experience shaped how I work today: I understand that our thoughts, emotions, and sense of self affect everything, in sport, in relationships, and in everyday life.

​

I moved to Melbourne to complete my Master of Counselling at Victoria University, and I've been building my practice here ever since; rooted in one simple belief: every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and like they genuinely belong.

​

I work with individuals, young people, parents, and families. Some of the things people come to me with include:

• Anxiety and depression

• School refusal, bullying, and exam stress

• Life transitions and identity

• Relationship and family difficulties

• Low self-worth and confidence

• Grief and loss

• Anything you've been carrying that you haven't quite been able to say out loud yet​

​

If you're not sure whether what you're experiencing "qualifies" ,  it does. You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support.

​

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic frameworks and meet each person where they are. Without judgement, without pressure, & at your pace.

 

I offer sessions online for anyone across Australia, as well as Walk & Talk sessions outdoors in Seymour, Victoria, because sometimes the best conversations happen when you're moving through the world rather than sitting still. 

 

Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you found your way.
