About Tugba
She specialises in Solution-Focused and Strengths-Based Therapy, a way of working that concentrates on solutions and existing capabilities rather than dwelling on problems. By helping people clarify their aims and develop self-efficacy, she supports clients to gain clarity and confidence in overcoming obstacles. Tugba aims to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where people feel heard and understood, and where they can take steps at a pace that suits them.
Tugba is listed with the AASW, which indicates membership of the Australian Association of Social Workers. She believes that sometimes the most important element of therapy is simply being listened to. Whether someone seeks guidance or a compassionate ear, she offers steady support and encouragement as clients work towards meaningful change and the goals they value.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options
Tugba Cagdas works with several practical, person-focused approaches. Client-centred therapy concentrates on the person's own perspective and priorities, offering empathetic listening and support to help people explore their feelings and make choices that feel right for them. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives, which can open up new possibilities for change and meaning. Solution-focused therapy places attention on concrete goals and small, achievable steps, helping people build momentum and strengthen confidence when addressing stress, anxiety or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tugba will work collaboratively with each person to identify methods that best suit their needs, goals and preferences. She supports clients in experimenting with different strategies and tailoring sessions so therapy feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments. These formats make it easier to access appropriately qualified or registered professionals from home or while managing a busy schedule, and they support continuity of care when in-person appointments are not possible.
