About me:

Hi, Im TabaI’m a mental health social worker and therapist who believes that healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself...it’s about understanding yourself more deeply at your own pace...
I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of your experiences, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels meaningful and sustainable.My approach draws from evidence-based therapies such as CBT and ACT, while also allowing space for reflection, creativity, and deeper emotional exploration when it feels right for you.

You might be here because…

  • You’ve been feeling overwhelmed, and it’s starting to feel like too much

  • Your mind doesn’t seem to slow down, and you find yourself overthinking everything

  • You feel disconnected from yourself, your emotions, or the people around you..

  • You’re going through a change or transition and feel unsure of what comes next

  • You’ve been holding things in, and don’t quite know how to put them into words

  • You’re used to coping on your own, but it’s starting to feel heavy

Whatever has brought you here, you don’t have to carry it alone!

  • My Areas of Expertise

  • Assessment and treatment of anxiety and stress-related presentations

  • Trauma-informed counselling, including support for individuals experiencing complex trauma and high-stress occupational environments

  • Grief and loss counselling, including bereavement and adjustment to significant life transitions

  • Emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills development

  • Psychosocial support for individuals navigating complex and challenging life circumstances

  • Group therapy facilitation and delivery of structured therapeutic programs

  • Culturally responsive practice with culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities and migrants

  • My Areas of Focus:

  • Anxiety and chronic stress presentations

  • Trauma and unresolved emotional experiences

  • Emotional dysregulation and overwhelm

  • Grief, bereavement, and loss

  • Adjustment difficulties and major life transitions

  • Relationship and interpersonal difficulties

  • Identity, self-esteem, and confidence concerns

  • Cultural, migration-related, and systemic stressors

  • Psychoeducation and resilience-building support

  • Adolescents, teenagers, and young adults navigating emotional, behavioural, and developmental transitions

  • Support for serious illness, palliative care, and end-of-life adjustment

Therapy is a journey and you don’t have to walk it alone!
I offer a space to slow down, listen inwardly, and begin to gently untangle what feels heavy or unclear. At times, this may look structured and focused; at other times, it may feel more exploratory like sketching out patterns, emotions, and narratives to better understand what’s unfolding beneath the surface...
