Tania Rose (She/They|AuADHDer) offers neurodiversity-affirming and queer-affirming psychotherapy, clinical supervision, education, research, and creative practice for people and practitioners interested in more thoughtful, humane ways of understanding themselves, their work, and the systems they move through. Their work is grounded in a commitment to meaning-making, complexity, curiosity, and the belief that people are not problems to be fixed, but lives to be understood in context.
Their clinical practice focuses particularly on working with Neurodivergent adults, supporting clients to move beyond deficit-based narratives and develop more compassionate, congruent, and sustainable ways of living. Tania’s approach recognises the impact of social, relational, sensory, emotional, and workplace environments, and invites clients to make sense of their experiences without reducing them to pathology.
Alongside their psychotherapy practice, Tania provides clinical supervision and education for practitioners who want to deepen their reflective capacity, expand their neurodiversity-affirming practice, and engage more critically with the assumptions embedded in traditional therapeutic models. Tania's supervision style is thoughtful, relational, and gently challenging, offering space for complexity rather than rushing toward tidy answers.
Tania is also undertaking PhD disability research into workplace wellbeing of creative practitioners, exploring how people, systems, and organisational cultures shape the conditions in which humans are expected to function, connect, and thrive. This research informs a broader interest in creating more sustainable, psychologically intelligent, and humane workplaces.
As a musician and creative practitioner, Tania brings a creative sensibility to their work, attuned to rhythm, voice, emotion, dissonance, and expression. Across therapy, supervision, education, research, and music, the work is united by a central aim: to help people make meaning, question unhelpful systems, and create more spacious ways of being with themselves, each other, and the peculiar social experiment we call work.
