Tara is a fully registered psychologist and psychotherapist. Tara has completed a Bachelor of Interpersonal and Organisational Psychology; a Graduate Diploma of Applied Psychology; and a Graduate Diploma of Psychotherapy. Tara works primarily with adolescents, parents, and young adults presenting with a range of anxiety, mood and behavioural issues. Tara is also the director and founder of Minded Psychology. Tara’s passion was to create a beautiful and calming space where people could feel heard, seen, understood and empowered while addressing their greatest vulnerabilities in life. Tara’s experience has provided her with the knowledge that symptoms and behaviour are the mind’s way of communicating important messages. Many people incorrectly judge and/or label what they see, rather than looking behind the behaviour to learn what it is they are in need of. Once these needs can be understood and then consciously met, the symptoms and/or unhealthy behaviour often settle. Tara’s main therapeutic approach is Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), which supports clients to re-process emotional pain or injury at a neurological level. Tara provides her clients with a safe and nurturing space where they can learn to identify, regulate and meet their own emotional needs, allowing for a stronger sense of self and a vulnerable connection to others. Tara’s framework for her therapeutic interventions include Attachment-Based Therapy. Tara holds her registration with the Australian Board of Psychology and is a proud member of the Australian Association of Psychologists Inc (AAPi).
