Tasia Manuel
Bachelor of Psychology, Master of Professional Psychology
Hello, my name is Tasia (she/her). I am a psychologist and I help adults individually and in couples who are navigating the impact of intergenerational trauma, complex family dynamics, and identity struggles to reconnect with their authentic selves and build more meaningful, empowered relationships - with others and with themselves.
The majority of my practice focuses on:
complex relationship and family dynamics
self-esteem and confidence
neurodivergent experiences
self-compassion and emotional resilience
My clients often come to therapy feeling disconnected from themselves, burdened by family & societal expectations, or stuck in repeating patterns from the past. After working together, they typically feel more grounded, self-aware, and confident in expressing who they truly are.
About my work
My practice is rooted in a neuro-affirming and trauma-informed lens. I support individuals in embracing their full selves and reconnecting with their authentic identity. I believe each person is an expert in their own life. My role is to walk alongside you - offering tools, insight, compassionate challenge and humour (where appropriate) - as you navigate healing, growth, and change.
I work with individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and neurotypes, with a deep commitment to LGBTIQA+, gender-diverse, and neurodivergent-affirming care; I am inspired to learn something new from each individual I see.
My work is informed by attachment theory, the Gottman Method couples counselling framework, and feminist theory.
