About Therapy with Taf

I specialise in helping young adults in their 20s and 30s who are navigating mental health and well-being issues, relationships, grief and loss, trauma and other adulthood life challenges.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

How I became a mental health therapist

I was born and raised in Zimbabwe before moving to Australia as a young adult. This experience has provided me with a rich and diverse cultural and linguistic background, giving me a firsthand understanding of the ongoing challenges of migration, young adulthood, isolation and displaced belonging. These experiences, along with my professional training, have profoundly shaped my approach to mental health and trauma and allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether you’ve always called Australia home or are still finding your way, let’s connect in this supportive space where you’ll feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore your challenges.

My Experience

I have completed nearly 10 years of trauma-informed work with individuals in various human services sectors, including adult and youth mental health, domestic family violence, refugees and asylum seekers, corporate well-being, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) support. I bring this wide range of experience to my private practice, where we can work together, and you’ll receive high-quality personalised therapy and counselling support.
