Bertina Tubaro
Registered Psychologist
I’m a Registered Psychologist living and working in Coolum Beach, on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. Through online sessions, I work with adults from all over Australia: in cities, regional towns and remote communities.
Over my career I have worked with individuals and families facing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties and major life changes. I have a particular interest in supporting people through family separation and transitions.
I named my practice Ocean Earth because, for me, wellbeing is about balance: the calm and movement of the ocean, and the steadiness of the earth beneath our feet. My aim is to help you find both.
“You don’t have to have everything figured out to reach out. We can start wherever you are.”
