What this session offers

The Initial Consultation is a 20-minute online video call where we can meet and get a feel for what it may be like to work together. You’re welcome to share, at your own pace, what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you may have. I’ll also explain how I work, the clients I’m best suited to support, and what ongoing sessions could look like if we decide to continue. This isn’t a full therapy session, but a gentle first step — a calm, contained space to pause, breathe, and sense whether this feels like the right support for you. There’s no pressure to decide during the call. Consultations are offered by video only, as I find meeting face-to-face helps create a clearer, steadier foundation for deeper work.

Stephanie Tan

Psychotherapist

I'm Stephy — a Psychodynamic Art Psychotherapist registered with ANZACATA. As a therapist, I believe deeply that the creative process is one of the most honest and accessible pathways to healing — gentle enough to meet people where they are, and powerful enough to carry them somewhere new. My practice is built around safety — physical, psychological, and emotional — because I understand that real therapeutic work cannot begin without it. At its heart, I think of therapy as something we slowly co-create together (I like to call it a personal project): an evolving process that belongs to the client as much as it does to the work itself. My clinical experience spans trauma, emotional dysregulation, and complex mental health presentations. An earlier placement working with individuals affected by non-accidental injuries brought me face to face with the quiet resilience of some of the most vulnerable people — and deepened my commitment to showing up, with care and consistency, for children and communities who need it most.
