I am a trauma to post-traumatic growth psychotherapist and coach with 10+ years experience offering you a unique blended approach to therapy that integrates clinical counselling and psychotherapy techniques with solution-focused practices and hypnotherapy. I specialise in supporting people who are struggling with the impacts of trauma, anxiety, rejection sensitivity, stress, burn-out and work-related distress.
Hi, I’m Tanja – a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist with 10+ years of experience offering trauma-informed counselling, hypnotherapy, coaching, clinical supervision, and business mentoring online and in-person in 1:1 and group therapy environments. I’m also an award-winning therapeutic community builder, Amazon bestselling author, and the founder of Creative Counsellors—a global not-for-profit community dedicated to celebrating creativity in counselling.
If you’ve found your way here, I believe you’re seeking support and guidance to make a meaningful change in your life. Whether you’re looking for one-on-one therapeutic support, clinical supervision for your practice, training, or simply seeking inspiration to ignite your entrepreneurial spirit and boost your creative skills and income, I hope you’ll discover just what you need in this little corner of the online world.
When you feel ready to connect, I would love to hear from you.
I draw from a range of evidence based therapies which are rooted in science and when offered together create a refreshing, relaxing, nurturing and creative approach to support your therapeutic healing and change. I take the best from these models and combine them to offer you a fresh new approach which adapts to your evolving needs and specific goals.
This includes offering trauma aware approaches including hypnotherapy, somatic body based therapies, cognitive therapy, solution focused approaches, psychodynamic approaches, compassion focused work and NLP. At the core of all of this is the deeply enriching humanistic foundations of respecting and celebrating your autonomy and ultimately believing that you have all the resources that you need to thrive and live a life that is fulfilling and on your own terms.
I have called this approach “MBFI” which is an enriching life model I developed and wrote about in my bestselling book “Creative Counselling: Tools & Interventions to Nurture Therapeutic Relationships”. So what does this mean for you? This means that I believe it is important to explore all aspects of YOUR experience including
YOUR MIND
Your thoughts, beliefs about yourself and the world and how this is impacting on your life
YOUR BODY
Your body as map to your stored emotions and traumas as well as becoming aware of the many messages that your body communicates to you, working towards a healthy relationship with your body & recognising your body as a safe place
YOUR FEELINGS
Your feelings & emotions. Respecting them all as important & valid. Giving you space to make sense of what you feel and why you feel. To express anything that feels stuck and to create the opportunity for emotions to flow. To feel to heal.
YOUR INTUITION
Your spiritual, intuitive and innate connection to all that is bigger than us in the world. Whether that is your connection to nature, to art, to creativity, to healing or belief in spirit. We co-create a safe space for you to explore your spiritual beliefs while deepening your intuition and belief in self

During therapy, I can guide you to access your unconscious mind—the place where much of your struggle lives, but also where your path to confidence, clarity, purpose, happiness, and health begins. True transformation happens when we go beyond surface-level thoughts and explore the deeper patterns that shape your life.
Your earliest experiences, relationships, and life events have a profound impact on how you think, feel, and exist in the world. Trauma, stress, neglect, fear, or embarrassment early in life can create unconscious beliefs that lead to anxiety, low self-esteem, fatigue, pain, and shame in adulthood. These patterns can keep you feeling stuck, making it hard to release what no longer serves you and find meaning in the present.
As a counsellor and hypnotherapist, I work with the unconscious mind to help you rewrite these deep-rooted patterns. Through guided exploration, therapeutic techniques, and hypnotherapy, we can gently uncover and rewire limiting beliefs, allowing for healing and lasting change. My approach integrates human development theories, research, and practical skills to support you in bringing your whole self—your past, present, and future hopes—into our work together. Together, we co-create a safe and nurturing space where you can break free from the stories that have kept you stuck and step into a more empowered, fulfilling life.
