Tifanis is a counsellor/psychotherapist passionate about helping individuals heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and the downstream challenges they have in their lives.

Grounded in the neuroscience of trauma recovery and psychotherapy, Tifanis’s therapeutic approach recognises that lasting change is not achieved through just thinking differently, using willpower, or talking about our problems. It also involves cultivating a felt sense of safety and okay-ness in our own skin. From there, we can start embodying the best version of ourselves, responding rather than reacting, and living in alignment with our present-day values rather than being driven by past patterns.

To this end, Tifanis employs brain- and body-based modalities (see the “Qualifications” section below for more details) to complement traditional therapeutic modalities such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and mindfulness.

Tifanis graduated with a Master’s in Counselling from Flinders University of South Australia and a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science (Psychology, Sociology) from Singapore Management University. In addition to her clinical role, she has been a certified yoga teacher since 2020 and has spent years practising attunement to the mind-body connection in herself and others. Between completing her Bachelor's and completing her Master’s, Tifanis worked in the Tech industry, Advertising & Marketing, and also ran a business in Consumer Packaged Goods. Her diverse professional background gives her a grounded, real-world perspective that informs her relational and practical approach to therapy.

Tifanis is based in Singapore. She works with local and expatriate clients presenting with concerns across anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and marriage, career and workplace, burnout and more.
