Who Is Tanya?

Tanya is a Master’s degree qualified and registered Dramatherapist. She undertook her training in England in 2010 and then worked for the UK's National Health Service for 10 years primarily in child and adolescent mental health. Upon returning to Australia three years ago, she was the Clinical Lead for Victoria for Canteen- a youth charity organisation supporting adolescents and young adults impacted by cancer. In August this year, she decided to branch out into private practice and founded ShortStories Therapy- offering dramatherapy to people of all ages on the Mornington Peninsula. Tanya strongly believes in the impact that creative arts therapies can have for so many people and is committed to raising the profile of dramatherapy here in Australia.
