Welcome to Psychology Tas! I’m Tane, a Devonport native with a deep-rooted connection to the Tasmanian community. My career path was initially shaped by my work in governmental residential care. Here, I encountered a wide spectrum of challenging behaviours and mental health presentations which developed my passion for seeing the person behind the behaviour and the need to empower people to see their full potential.

I embarked on my academic journey at the University of Tasmania with undergraduate studies in psychology, honours year at Monash University and a Master of Clinical Psychology at Federation University. The rural setting at Federation sharpened my focus for providing services in rural settings which is why I’ve come back to Tassie and wish to offer a statewide service. As an endorsed clinical psychologist focusing on assessments and therapy, I see all presentations and am an equipped EMDR practitioner which enables me to treat trauma. I am focused on what has happened to you to make you the person you are and how you want to be in the future.

As a child, rugby and sport instilled in me a sense of teamwork, resilience and the importance of being goal oriented. Consequently, in practice, I passionately advocate for my clients’ rights and needs through a holistic, evidence based and person centred approach, framed by understanding each individual within their unique context. It’s in session that these experiences culminate, with professional experience and directed goals punctuated by my rural larrikin humour.

At Psychology TAS, you’ll find a blend of professional rigour, compassionate care and strong advocacy in your journey towards mental wellbeing. I look forward to working with you, offering a path to understanding and growth through personalised psychological assessment and care.
