Tamara Kacen is a clinical psychologist and psychologist based in Randwick, NSW. You can find the practice at 209A Avoca Street, Randwick NSW 2031.
At times, life can feel a bit too much. Tamara works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, and everyday worries that keep getting in the way. Sessions are also helpful when relationships feel strained, or when families are stuck in patterns that are hard to change.
The work is usually centred on what’s going on right now, and what you want to be different. Some people come in after a tough few weeks. Others have been carrying things for years, and it’s wearing them down. Either way, the goal is to make sense of what’s happening and build practical ways to cope.
Tamara offers individual therapy, where you can talk through what you’re going through without judgement. There’s also support for couples who want to improve how they communicate, handle conflict, and feel more connected. Family therapy can help when it’s not just one person struggling, but the whole system feeling off.
Stress management is a big part of the sessions. That might include learning simple tools for calming your mind and body, and figuring out what triggers your stress in daily life. For anxiety, the focus is often on breaking the cycle—understanding what keeps the worry going, and gradually building more helpful habits and confidence.
Tamara’s approach is grounded and supportive. It’s not about “fixing” people like a problem. It’s more about working out what’s been tough, what has helped before, and what you can try next. In many cases, you’ll leave sessions with clear, doable steps you can use between appointments.
Education-wise, Tamara has clinical psychology training and is set up to provide therapy in a professional, structured way. You can expect sessions to be respectful, and to be tailored to the pace that fits you.
There isn’t a lot of focus on public research or clinical trials in this practice profile, but Tamara does keep therapy methods up to date through ongoing professional learning and reflections on what works well in real life.
