Meet your Therapist
I am living proof that a toddler can know - with absolute certainty - what she wants to do with her life. ​​I have always known I wanted to be a therapist. "Let's talk about brains!" was my most popular phrase at age 3.
​
And here I am! My name is Talia Ben-Menashe and I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor registered with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
​​
I work with all types of individuals including adults, adolescents and LGBTQIA+ clients. And I place a strong emphasis on cultural diversity and inclusivity in my practice.
With me, you will feel safe, heard and understood.
