"Working on a principle of deep Enquiry, I help my clients to thrive in life."
I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and an Coach registered with the BACP. I have experience working with diverse client groups. My practice is grounded in the humanistic approach, complemented by various other training I have undertaken. This enables me to utilise therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs.
Seeking therapy can arise from various reasons, whether apparent or not. It might stem from experiences of anxiety, depression, work or life challenges, emotional or physical abuse, grief or bereavement or complex relationships in childhood or later life. Sometimes, it’s difficult to pinpoint precisely what’s wrong, yet you feel it.
I firmly believe that you are the expert in your life. My role is to guide and support you in uncovering the insights and strengths already within you. I am particularly interested in how early attachments and experiences shape our relationship and overall sense of self. These early connections and experiences can profoundly influence your nervous system, potentially leading to physical discomfort, illness, or presenting as stress, depression, or anxiety when emotional blockages occur. I will compassionately listen to your unique experiences and perspectives, and together, we can work to identify and resolve these emotional blockages, enabling you to grow, find new meanings, and restore balance in your life.
The most successful factor for positive change, regardless of the type of therapy, is the relationship between client and therapist. Therefore, I offer warmth, empathy, kindness and respect. When a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship evolves, it helps to foster curiosity, compassion, and creativity, enabling you to find new meanings and achieve positive change.

Family Therapy
In addition to personal therapy, I also provide family therapy. I have extensive experience working with young people and their families. There are many different reasons why families seek therapy; it might be due to a specific event or that relationships may be feeling challenging or strained. I am trained to use Mentalization, which is the ability to understand the mental state of oneself or others that underlies their behaviour. It can help with:
• Emotional regulation: Mentalization is a coping skill that helps regulate emotions.
• Sense of self: Mentalization helps people form a strong sense of self.
• Interpersonal relationships: Mentalization helps people develop good interpersonal relationships.
• Understanding the social world: Mentalization helps people understand the social world.
Reflective Practice
I tailor reflective practice models to suit your company's or institution's needs. They involve integrating elements that encourage self-reflection and reflexive thought, enabling individuals to think clearly, deeply, honestly, and constructively to develop their professional practice. I facilitate an environment whereby groups can meet regularly, guided by a supportive structure to share openly and give feedback. The outcome provides employees with a sense of purpose and connection that helps them to thrive.
Workshops
Managing relationships effectively becomes easier when individuals can reflect on their own and others' needs and responsibilities. My workshops are highly interactive, incorporating a variety of creative exercises, group discussions, and reflective activities designed to foster deep personal insight and actionable strategies that encourage meaningful self-reflection, enable individuals to understand their relational dynamics better and develop strategies for effective relationship management and personal growth.
Themes can include but are not limited to
- Self-care, Responsibility, and Reflexive thought
- Fostering a collaborative and supportive team
- How to prevent burnout
- Active listening - how does it feel?
-Safeguarding and the impact on staff

Client Testimonials
"My son's wellbeing and happiness has improved greatly since his sessions with Tamsin. Far beyond what I thought would be achievable in such a short space of time.
He now has the tools for dealing with his bereavement. Positivity has once again returned to his life since Tamsin has shown us the benefits of Resilience."
“Our son was introduced to Tamsin because he had worries and anxieties which impacted on his learning at school. We are delighted with the progress he has made during the period of time he has spent with Tamsin. She put our son at ease from day one and he was openly able to discuss his feelings with her. After each session he instigated conversations with us explaining what he had discussed in each of the sessions, and we could see a big weight had been lifted and he was starting to feel better in himself.
We are so grateful for everything Tamsin did for our son. He has built up greater resilience and is back to his happy self. The sessions have also enabled him to develop tools to manages his feelings. His Teachers have even commented on how much happier he is and how engaged he is in his learning.
When we asked our son to describe Tamsin he said the following: “She is very kind and easy to talk to”. We would highly recommend Tamsin."
