Tasia Manuel
Bachelor of Psychology, Master of Professional Psychology
Hello, my name is Tasia (she/her). I am a Psychologist and I help adults 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 Me
My practice is rooted in a neuro-affirming, sex- and kink-positive, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed lens. I support clients 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, and compassionate challenge--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.
Services
I take an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring evidence-based interventions to each unique individual. My work is informed by polyvagal theory, attachment theory, the Gottman Method couples counselling framework, and feminist theory I am trauma-informed, LGBTIQA+ and CALD inclusive, and neuro-affirming.
