Our Principal Psychologist, Supervisor & Founder
Tania Attley - Registered Psychologist
With over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, Tania brings a holistic, integrative approach to mental health. She has a deep passion for understanding how trauma (developmental, complex, and PTSD) influences neurobiology, behavior, and personality, while also exploring the vital connections between nutrition, movement, hormones, and mental well-being.
Tania believes that mental health cannot be treated in isolation—growth happens when we view the whole person, including physical health, lifestyle, and emotional resilience. She has a special focus on supporting adult women navigating:
- Neurodiversity & ADHD
- Birth Trauma & Perinatal Wellbeing
- Hormonal-Related Disorders (PMDD, PMS, Endometriosis, Autoimmune Conditions)
- C-PTSD, Developmental Trauma, OCD, Depression & Anxiety
- Self-Development, Self-Esteem & Eating Disorders
Operating from a client-centered, recovery-oriented framework, Tania fosters empowerment, capacity-building, and hope. She is deeply invested in hearing each client’s unique story and worldview, ensuring therapy is a safe, supportive, and personalized space for growth and healing.
She integrates a range of evidence-based approaches, including:
- Schema Therapy & EMDR
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) & Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills
- Breathwork, Mindfulness, Relaxation & Psychoeducation
Beyond clinical work, Tania provides clinical supervision and professional coaching for mental health professionals.
In her spare time, you’ll find Tania embracing the beautiful chaos of motherhood (raising two little ones!), recharging by the beach, practicing yoga and Pilates, or indulging in creativity, reading, and a little retail therapy.
Her mission? To create a space where therapy is holistic, compassionate, and deeply transformative.
Tania is currently waitlisting new referrals. Please contact us to be added to the waitlist.

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
Support that allows you to learn the necessary skills of regulation. Not everyone can meditate and that is absolutely okay. It is about finding what works for you, with no complicated techniques.
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is the gold standard treatment approach for the treatment of trauma related disorders such as PTSD. Our Psychologists have focused on EMDR for Birth Trauma. However, EMDR is evidence based in the treatment of other mental health conditions.
Schema Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Schema Therapy is an integrative therapy that draws on cognitive (thought/believe based) techniques, parts theories and trauma processing. At it's core it is a therapy that focuses on the impacts of unmet needs throughout one's life and how this manifests through thoughts, feelings and behaviours now.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
At the Raw Psychology Clinic, we utilise the skills components of DBT that are highly aligned with impacts of trauma and areas of difficulty for those with personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The skills focus on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. The skills can be useful for anyone.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT is a values driven intervention that adopts mindfulness, defusion (instead of challenging thoughts and believes, we create space and detachment from these), acceptance and committed action. It is an approach that can be helpful for a range of difficulties such as anxiety, body-image, depression, pain and OCD.
Vulnerability is being able to sit in the discomfort of exposing the most authentic and raw parts of ourselves. - Tania Attley
