Welcome to Swells of Life Therapy

“Empowering Your Healing Journey: Specialised Trauma Recovery therapist with a tailored individual approach”.

Meet Tammy Schwarzl

Hello and welcome. I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker and counsellor, with life experience and have been practicing for over 8 years.

As a mother, wife, and professional, I understand the complexities of juggling personal, family, and work responsibilities. I engage in my own therapy, always working on my areas of growth as I transition through life. I understand life isn’t always easy, but with the right support, healing and growth are possible.

I am trained in many psychological interventions including ACT, CBT, EMDR and DBT and base all my interactions on a strengths based approach.

As an empath I truely value connecting with trauma survivors, empowering individuals to develop understanding of their worth.

I recognise that reaching out for support is an act of courage, a sign that you would like to feel different in your life although you may not know how to start.

Swells of Life Therapy logo

"Swells of Life Therapy" logo draws symbolism from the metaphor of the ocean's swells to represent the highs and lows of life. Individualised therapy focuses on supporting you to navigate the ebbs and flows of life effectively, developing skills to manage these challenges.

The use of dolphins as a symbol in this context represents qualities such as calmness, compassion, and being present. Dolphins are often associated with these traits due to their graceful and gentle nature, as well as their ability to navigate the waters with agility and awareness. Integrating the symbolism of dolphins signifies a focus on cultivating these qualities within oneself to better cope with life's ups and downs.

In summary Tammy Schwarzl - Swells of Life Therapy aims to align with all of the aspects of the logo and is centered around helping individuals embrace the natural ebb and flow of life, while also providing tools and support to navigate through both the calm and turbulent times with resilience and empowerment.

I highly recommend Tammy to anyone experiencing life’s challenges and especially with teens that might have certain disorders. I love that Tammy offers strategies to cope with life’s difficulties and she is easy to understand and very caring and empathetic. My teenage grandson is also seeing her and has opened up to Tammy, which is a first for him. At 14 years of age he would clam up at any other session but spoke to Tammy and had a major breakthrough on his terms. I highly recommend Tammy to anyone needing help.

After seeing and talking to Tammy for a month, It’s helped me to be less stressed. It’s made me happier and not as down. She makes me feel welcome and accepted. She is easy to talk to and nice to talk to. It’s made me understand my feelings and believe in myself. (10 year old)

Tammy’s compassionate approach to assisting others provided me the safe space and guidance I needed to process significant trauma and to overcome my self-limiting beliefs. Her high level of professionalism and kind manner are both welcoming and reassuring. I highly recommend her service to anyone who may be struggling.
