More about Tamara

  • HCPC, BACP

Welcome, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. With over 11 years of experience and UK credentials, I am committed to providing you with compassionate and professional support for your emotional and mental well-being.

In our therapy sessions, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. I am dedicated to creating an environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported.

My approach is grounded in empathy, and I will work with you to address any challenges you may be facing, such as stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, confidence, or family or career difficulties. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, which means exploring the deeper, underlying factors influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to gain insight into patterns that may be affecting your current emotional well-being. The psychodynamic approach fosters self-awareness and understanding, empowering you to unravel the roots of your emotional challenges.

Therapy is a courageous step towards personal growth, and I am here to walk alongside you on this journey towards positive change.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I really like working with Tamara. Tamara speaks in a way that is sincere, gentle, and clear. I feel heard and understood in our work together, and I feel that she can meet me where I am, encouraging me in my journey without pushing, and helping me celebrate the progress I'm making. I'm very happy to have connected with her.
