Internal Family Systems (IFS)

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.

I am a member of NZAC and focus on offering skills for regulating emotions and working towards healing/thriving. I have been instrumental in the mindfulness modalities for therapy and emotional regulation across Australasia since the mid 2000s. Improving relationship (even that which you have with yourself) is the path to thriving. My motto is: the past informed the present, but the NOW creates the future. There is no time like now to step up and grow your relationship wellbeing.

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.

Are you stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or self-doubt, and unsure how to change them?
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or navigating relationship challenges, grief, or loss—perhaps even questioning if you have a narcissistic dynamic in your life. I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel heard and safe. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening, help you regulate emotions, understand your needs, and reconnect with yourself—so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and trust.

In my counselling work, I prioritise you as the expert in your own life and learn about your current position in what you’re experiencing. In time, we can work together to build pathways toward a life that is empowering to you, your family, and your community. Using methods such as externalising problems, re-authoring your stories, and linking with your community are some of the ways we can do this together
