TANYA’S BIO & BOOKING →
Tanya brings a calm, grounded presence to the room and provides spaciousness for whatever feelings arise. She doesn't rush to tell you what to do, but stays curious about what matters to you and where you want to go. Tanya is especially drawn to supporting people through the complicated places where we can feel lost, alone or untethered, including when we're caught between cultures, family expectations, old roles and who we're becoming. Her work also makes room for connection with the body, the land and your own inner knowing.
Tanya offers counselling in English and Tagalog.

ANDREA’S BIO & BOOKING →
Andrea tends to work with those who are thoughtful, emotionally perceptive and used to holding everything together, while not always tending to themselves. She also enjoys supporting those have spent their lives feeling like an outsider or the “black sheep”, as well as those navigating the effects of controlling relationships. Andrea gently guides the broader direction of therapy in a collaborative and compassionate way that is process-oriented, allowing spaciousness for sessions to unfold organically towards greater self-trust, agency and freedom to live in a way that feels right.
