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, IFT (Internal Family Systems), Positive Psychology, Attachment Theory and Gottman therapy.
My aim is to combine the best of research-based methods with a compassionate and non-judgemental, whole-person, attitude.

I am offering a warm, genuine, and non-judgmental collaborative approach. A safe space where you can explore your thinking and feelings and reach an understanding that will help you deal with your difficulties and find your way forward to live a fulfilled life.
Whether you struggle with relationship challenges, past or recent trauma, stress and anxiety, life transitions, physical health matters and more, I’m here to help!

I have experience in working with people with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.

My work has given me the privilege of working with a wide range of people with differing backgrounds and circumstances with whatever brings them to therapy: low mood, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, repeating patterns, grief, and addictions. Sometimes people don’t know what brings them to therapy. They might not feel right, and have a need for clarity – therapy is often a great place for addressing this.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes those challenges seem overwhelming.
Sometimes we want to change how we react to those challenges, and sometimes we just want someone to talk to - someone who listens and 'gets us' without judging.
With my background as integrative Psychotherapist, and a PhD in Organisational Psychology, I bring a powerful set of knowledge and experiences to my learning and development work.
I am committed to exploring with you practical and effective steps towards a more 'choiceful' life.
