Books by Tasha Broomhall PhD
Mental Health issues are very common in our community and are often spoken of and approached with fear, stigma and even despondency. This book debunks some of the common misunderstandings around mental health and mental illness and provides practical strategies for you to use to support your own mental health as well as support those around you.
We often disregard anxiety as ‘I’m just stressed’, and either simply accept it, or blame it on others around us – our boss, our partner, our families, or maybe even the cat.
But if that stress is ongoing, long-lasting and is beginning to impact on your functioning, it’s worth taking a look to see if it’s something more than stress, and if there is anything you can do about it.
There is currently a lot of focus on psychosocial safety and mental health issues in the workplace. However, as well as possible risks, work can be protective for our mental health. When work is designed and managed well, it can help us flourish. This book explores the elements that contribute to the ecosystem of work and suggests ways of developing your organisation into one where both the people and the business flourish.
When her sister dies in London, Perth psychologist Ellie finds journals revealing a secret life and a relationship that may have been far more dangerous than anyone knew. A story of grief, love and the silences that exist even in the closest relationships.

Endorsements for A Life Dissembled
‘Tasha Broomhall’s beguiling debut novel is a forensic examination of circumstances around a family bereavement, made compelling by the author’s insight into the human condition. Her characters are memorable for their depth: they arrive on the page fully formed, people like us, grappling with corporeal existence and struggling to make sense of things in an oft-messy world. Impressive.’
