Hi I am Tanya,
An “introvert” who is a professional counsellor and holistic coach . I living in Melbourne Australia. I specialise in counselling and coaching programs for introverts.
As an introvert myself I deeply understand how it feels to live in the extroverted focused world .
Over the years I have had my personal emotional challenges.
~ I felt overwhelmed and anxious easily.
~ Being in a large group was energetically draining and it took me days to recover.
~ I enjoy my own space and like to spend time alone. In fact alone time is important for me to recharge my energy.
Communicating with loud outgoing people always seem too much and I would retreat into myself, I felt I didn’t know what to say. I knew I had something to offer, but I just couldn’t find the words at the right time. I’m a great listener I had some many skills to share with others but, I didn’t understand myself.
Being an Introvert....
Then I discover “Introvert personality” this explained everything. It was me! It was how I felt and how I acted. I decided to use this information to my advantage and embrace my introverted personality.
With this knowledge I turned to holistic therapies and found a way to balance and improve my own wellbeing. I soon developed a passion for yoga, meditation and mindfulness. I was so happy with the results I was getting in my own life. This lead me to explore how I could use these therapies to help other introverts . I went on to study counselling, life coaching, mindfulness, yoga and energy therapies. I love learning new skills and this has helped me to understand myself and to create balance in my own life. I soon realised that by combining these tools and techniques I had learnt, I could help other introverts improve their lives too.
Over the past 13 years, I have been working in corporate setting as a counsellor, coach group facilitator. With all the skills I have gained through my work and study, I decided to start my own business, and “Be In Harmony” was born . I wanted to focus more on mindfulness techniques to help Introverts create a sense of balance and control in their life. I love the work I do and feel blessed to be able to help others Introverts.
Who I work with
Many of my clients feel the same as I did as a Introvert, life is overwhelming and out of control. My clients wanting to create a sense of balance and harmony in their lives.
My Therapy Style
I’m an empathetic, calm, gentle and relaxed therapist. I’m not a “rah rah” therapist, as that’s not me and I understand that approach does not work for Introverts. My approach is flexible, intuitive and insightful, and a little bit spiritual, but on a practical level. I bring all these approaches together to create a practical workable action plan for my clients. I believe it’s about seeing my clients for the unique, and amazing introvert they are. That’s why I use a combination of therapies to give my clients a personalized therapy program, so they can get the best results and create the life they desire.
My Aim
My aim is to empower introverts the skills to celebrate themselves, so they can create the life they truly desire. I incorporate my passion for helping others, to provide therapies that deepen peoples connection to themselves. I work with people on a holistic level incorporating mind, body, emotion and spirit. I use my skills to help clients improve their lives, so they can create a sense of balance and harmony in their life.
