About Tunteeya
Tunteeya Yamaoka is an AHPRA-registered practitioner with ten years' experience working in Australia. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with major life changes. She also offers coaching to help clarify goals and next steps. Sessions are conducted in English and Japanese where helpful.
Tunteeya writes and speaks plainly in sessions. She can be direct and honest while remaining considerate. That approach aims to help clients name difficult feelings and notice how those emotions shape everyday choices. She encourages looking at both difficult moments and small positive changes that already exist in life. Tunteeya uses several therapy approaches to guide conversations. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy are part of her toolkit. She also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural methods when they fit a person's goals. Outside of work she enjoys drawing, painting, running and crocheting. She reads cosy fiction and keeps active at the gym. These personal interests sometimes come up when people want simple, everyday strategies for mood and routine. People thinking about starting therapy are invited to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The site subscription model applies and can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions that drive relationship patterns and personal reactions. It focuses on feelings, how they show up in interactions, and ways to shift those patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship experience and current attachment patterns to make sense of how someone relates to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. You can expect her to check in about how an approach is working and to adjust the plan if needed.
Session options are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current online formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or lunch break and can reduce travel time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when time or bandwidth is limited. Appropriately qualified or registered therapists can use these ways of meeting to support therapy that fits around everyday life.
