Hi, I’m Tamsin! I offer various therapy and coaching modalities geared towards emotional/psychological wellbeing, relationships, parenting and change. I work with both adults and teenagers, using a combination of mindfulness ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT, Solutions Focused Therapy, EP, IFS (Internal Family Systems), Positive Psychology, Attachment Theory & Gottman Couples Therapy.
My aim is to combine the best of research-based methods with a compassionate and non-judgemental, whole-person, attitude.

As a parent, teacher and student of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, I bring a warm, attachment-centred approach to healing. With decades of experience in yoga therapy, contemplative movement, and mindfulness, I support people struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction through body-based, experiential therapy.
Drawing from Internal Family Systems and trauma-informed practices, I create a safe space where you can reconnect with your body's innate wisdom and return home to your authentic self.

I’m a person-centred counsellor, providing a safe and compassionate space where clients are met with empathy, respect, and trust in their ability to move forward. I work closely with caregivers, using Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) to help strengthen relationships and support healing.

I'm here to support children, young people, adults & families to work towards a more fulfilled life, for any of the issues that you face. I am non judgemental & caring. I will work with you to get the best results. Let's do this! "It is clear that Ngairini cares deeply for her clients. She provides a safe & warm environment, that allows for them to face into, & work through, life's challenges & difficulties. I would recommend her for anyone wanting to start the healing journey "- Mr.
