“Tamara has made such an improvement in our relationship, her technique and approach were on point. We now understand what it truly means to effectively and honestly communicate, acknowledge and empathise with each other, and the work required to improve ourselves. It was also eye-opening to, through her guidance, learn more about each other and us individually, putting us on a journey to becoming better versions of ourselves.

Tamara is always professional, followed up where she promised to do so, and went the extra mile when she didn’t need to. We would highly recommend her for all couples who are looking to invest time to strengthen their relationships, regardless of the types of conflicts, or even just to learn and improve on what is currently there.”

“As someone who was incredibly sceptical about couples counselling, and how it could possibly help my partner and I overcome the situation we were in, I can say, with absolute sincerity, that our therapy with Tamara saved our relationship.

Not only did Tamara’s guidance help us work through our emotions and heal from being hurt, it helped us to properly understand each other’s perspectives and communication styles. Tamara has helped us to communicate effectively with each other, both day-to-day and during disagreements.

Since completing our therapy with Tamara our relationship feels stronger than ever and we are happy and in love.

I cannot thank Tamara enough for her guidance or recommend her highly enough.”

“Our experience with Tamara was transformative. As a newly-married couple who had also just immigrated to Australia, we were facing new challenges and significant life decisions. We found ourselves struggling to understand each other and communicate effectively, and we had fallen into a cycle of endless bickering. Tamara's expertise in Emotionally Focused Therapy was instrumental in guiding us toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other. She also equipped us with the tools we needed to communicate more effectively. We appreciated her relaxed and approachable demeanour, which made us feel at ease opening up to her and each other. Tamara's professionalism, dedication, and passion for her work were evident throughout our time together. We wholeheartedly recommend Tamara to any couple seeking to strengthen their relationship or get through a difficult time. ”

“As a lesbian-identifying woman, I felt very safe, accepted and understood by Tamara and my partner and I felt very well looked after as a gay couple. Before entering counselling, we had considered seeing a counsellor from within the LGBTQ+ community. But, in the first session, when Tamara explained her understanding of our conflicts, I instantly felt confident and comfortable working with her and that we would be able to move in a positive direction with her help. We did! We made great progress, our conflicts de-escalated almost immediately, and Tamara helped us to re-build our positive connection. She was able to see this connection, from the beginning, and I found it tremendously valuable that she reminded us of it whenever we lost sight of it. Tamara was also able to hear and see us each in our own positions, which was crucial to my understanding of my own and my partner’s positions and patterns.”

“Tamara is a kind and compassionate therapist who does a brilliant job in a difficult role. She somehow manages to balance each partner's perspective, holding space for each person to feel seen as an individual as well as part of a couple. A great listener with a gentle, probing curiosity, Tamara provided perspective that helped my partner and I get 'unstuck' from our arguments, as well as skills and insights to take forward as a couple. I cannot recommend her enough.”

“I am a therapist and I have attended specialist training with Tamara on a number of occasions and have seen her in action. She is an incredibly skilled and experienced therapist with wisdom, humour, insight, and warmth that would make anyone feel comfortable. I think so highly of her that I have recommended her to a number of couples that I personally know. A couple who are seeing Tamara on a regular basis, have reported back to me how helpful they have found their sessions, and how skilled and supportive they find Tamara in helping them navigate their challenges. I would highly recommend Tamara to anyone who is looking for a therapist who is accepting, highly skilled and very supportive.”
