Toltu Tufa

I know how it feels to be weighed down by your own plate.

The overwhelming feeling of having too much on your plate is probably more common than anybody wants to admit. Admittedly, I've been there myself and found solace in being offered a safe space to navigate through it all.

"A problem shared, is a problem halved."

As a female psychologist, and a Muslim psychologist, I have worked for years with healthcare professionals and with people interwined in the correctional and justice system. My style is always person centred and you will notice my warm and acknowledging approach; I will encourage you towards change in a direct and empathetic way.

Limited spots for therapeutic psychology are available at my clinic. On this website however, you can enjoy my consulting services available for healthcare, corporate, community and educational organisations. Tell me how you would like me to contribute towards your success; it can start with a simple conversation.

Toltu is a consultant psychologist registered with the Psychology Board of Australia. She is the prinicpal practitioner at Shura Psychology and fluently speaks English, Turkish and Oromo.

There is a reason keynote speaking is one of my most sought after services.

By leveraging my experiences as a psychologist and an activist for social change with more than a quarter of a million followers on social media, compelling and inspiring audiences with actionable tools and strategies is my forte.

Everything is customised for your event: your goals, the transformation you are trying to inspire and importantly, the challenges and opportunties your audience is facing at this moment in time.

My goal is simple: to send your audience back to the world with practical steps to pivot towards from a place of authenticity.

Toltu is a fluently multilingual TEDx speaker, with over 400 keynote appearances, 500 workshop faciltations and co hosts the world's top 30 podcasts on intersectionality, called 'The Coded Switch'.

Creating sustainable innovation lies in creating space for access, attunement, and scale.

Newsflash: Australia has the second highest rate of workplace stress in the world. Also, our education system is failing up to 1 in 3 children.

You don't just need 'another' system. You need incredible trouble shooting from someone who asks the right questions to understand exactly why something is not working, and then, excitingly, how to fix it sustainably.

That's where I come in.

As a consulting and educational expert, working with me means that you have someone on your team who really gets it. It is why I received government accolades for developing whole of school sexual education prevention programs and created wildly successful global educational campaigns for children's seeking native language learning.

I strive to show you how diversity, inclusion and best practice can sit comfortably in ways that are accesible, attuned and to scale.

You don't have to be the champion of yet another 'tickbox' activity...
