About me
Hi! I'm Tanya. I'm a medical doctor whose sole passion is mental health, especially Mums! I graduated from medicine in 2003, from the University of Otago, New Zealand. I moved to Australia in 2006 to pursue general practice training. I have always had a keen interest in mental health and anxiety treatments. As a busy mum of three, I understand the challenges of everyday life, particularly in being a parent. I have advanced training in psychological services. I’m also a trained Circle Of Security facilitator (COS-I). COS is an extensively researched international organisation who promote attachment based parenting. Find more about COS here. PS. Don’t worry, it’s not permissive, you-must-co-sleep stuff! 😉
