Professional mental health support
for teens and adults in Mackay.
If things have been tough lately, you’re not alone. I offer practical,
respectful therapy that helps you make sense of what you’re
feeling — and figure out what to do next.
Hello, I’m Tanya Thomson
I’m am an accredited mental health social worker based in Mackay (Find out how a social worker can help you). Since 2010, I have worked with clients to take small steps towards enhancing their overall wellbeing and self-care practises. Life often becomes busy and overwhelming which leads many of us reaching for ways to numb ourselves to what we are experiencing or truly feeling. Taking small steps can lead to significant changes rapidly. Many people struggle to understand how to change; to alter behaviour, one must first change their mindset. Seeking help and support when necessary is acceptable and every small step contributes to reaching your goals.
