• Our approach

  Dr Raj Tanna uses an individualised, integrative approach that combines psychotherapeutic and psychiatric expertise tailored to each person's unique needs, context, and life circumstances. Sessions focus on collaboratively developing a recovery plan that addresses mental and emotional wellbeing while building on personal strengths, helping you feel more connected, hopeful and optimistic. The approach may include lifestyle and nutrition considerations to potentially reduce medication use where appropriate. Throughout the journey, Dr Tanna emphasises compassion, honesty and respect, walking alongside you through your recovery while sometimes coordinating with other professionals like counsellors, psychologists or ADHD coaches as needed. Rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment model, the work together aims to support genuine, lifelong transformative change.
