Meet your Therapist

Headshot.JPG

I am living proof that a toddler can know - with absolute certainty - what she wants to do with her life. â€‹â€‹I have always known I wanted to be a therapist. "Let's talk about brains!" was my most popular phrase at age 3.

​

And here I am! My name is Talia Ben-Menashe and I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).

 

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

​​

I work with all types of individuals including adults, adolescents and LGBTQIA+ clients. Having a queer identity of my own and growing up in an ethnically and culturally diverse household has deeply informed my work. I place a strong emphasis on cultural diversity and inclusivity in my practice.

 

With me, you will feel safe, heard and understood.
