Her experience includes management and supervisory roles across multi-disciplinary teams.

Currently, Tanya works in a private psychology practice and teaches at LaTrobe University part-time where she specialises in teaching Nutrition Counselling which has a strong focus on Motivational Interviewing with Masters of Dietetics Students. Tanya’s clinical specialisation areas include helping people work towards healing their relationship with food and body kindness.
