Tamara Evans

Hi! I’m Tamara - A clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience working in the area of child and adolescent mental health.

I work exclusively in therapy with children and adolescents, also providing
support strategies to parents. I offer individual consultations, as well as group programs and seminars. I have particular expertise working with anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, emotional regulation, and grief & loss issues. With a young family of my own, I identify with parents’ concerns and hopes for their children, and appreciate the level of trust placed in health professionals. I understand the importance of families feeling understood and well connected to their therapist, and I look forward to working with families from my local community and their unique experiences.

I incorporate current evidence-based practice in my work. I also find a
Narrative Therapy framework to be useful in helping people and families to
realise their own skills and competencies in a respectful and non-blaming way. I have well established connections with local services, and am committed to Little Lights Psychology providing the highest quality support.

I gained my experience working as a therapist in both community and private child and youth settings. Over this time, I have provided one on one consultations, developed and facilitated numerous group therapy programs, presented at community and parent information sessions, and delivered seminars to university students.

I am registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency with clinical psychology endorsement, am a
member of the Australian Psychological Society, and am a registered provider of Medicare specialist clinical psychology services.

I look forward to working with your family. Please feel free to contact me.

Donut

Hello! I’m Donut the pug. I am currently on my L’s - learning to be a therapy dog. This means that you might see me taking part in a telehealth video session. I LOVE people, and am hoping that one day soon I will be able to meet some of you in person, and help you work through some of the things that bring you to therapy. I am great at making people smile, and inspiring kindness. My favourite things are gentle pats and cuddles, and playing at the park with my doggy and human friends.

 ROOM RENTAL

Do you have a child friendly business currently looking for a room to operate from?

There are currently 2 beautiful, light filled consulting rooms available for rent on a part time or full time basis at 218a Station St, Fairfield.

The rooms come furnished with a couch, chairs and an office desk (but can also be reconfigured to suit your needs). There is access to plenty of storage space. Both rooms have their own split systems for heating and cooling. Wifi and amenities are included in rental costs, as well as a shared waiting room, bathroom and kitchen facilities.

The large room (bottom pic), has dividing doors which can be used to create 2 separate spaces, or one large area (8m x 4m). This room is currently available for rent on a part time or full time (exclusive use) basis, with flexible hours.

The smaller room - which is still well-sized at 3.8 x 3.5m (top pic), has access to its own additional private balcony which lets in beautiful natural light. This room is currently available on a part time basis, with flexible hours.

Come and share the space with like-minded child friendly businesses. You will join a wonderful local community, with support provided to connect and advertise with local networks.

Please contact Tamara for further details.
