About Me - Clinical Psychologist in Hobart

Tane Thomas, Clinical Psychologist in Hobart

I'm a Tasmanian clinical psychologist with a strong connection to the local community. My path into psychology began in youth residential care where I witnessed how the right support can change the course of a person's life. Since then, I've worked across private, community and multidisciplinary health settings including within a medical weight‑management clinic alongside GPs, dietitians, endocrinologists and other medical professionals.

I hold a Master of Clinical Psychology, am a board-approved supervisor and I am trained in trauma-focused therapies including EMDR. My practice is guided by empathy, scientific rigour and a respect for each person's lived experience. I aim to help clients make sense of their story, develop effective strategies for change and reconnect with what matters most.

In my North Hobart practice you'll find a warm, calm and respectful environment designed to support meaningful psychological work at every stage of life.
