About me

Hello, I'm Tamsin, a qualified counsellor with a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have worked with both children and adults, but I now specialise in supporting adults through various life challenges.

My experience as a bereavement counsellor has equipped me with the skills necessary to help individuals navigate the complexities of grief and loss. In addition to this, I have worked extensively with clients facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and attachment issues, childhood trauma, and significant life transitions, including menopause and retirement.

As an integrative counsellor, I primarily work from a person-centred approach, while also incorporating elements from Transactional Analysis and Gestalt therapy to help clients gain new awareness and insights into their experiences. I believe that every individual's journey is unique, and I am dedicated to creating a safe and empathetic space where you can explore your feelings and aspirations.

I offer both face-to-face and online individual sessions to accommodate your preferences and needs. My passion lies in helping people reach their full potential and live authentically, in a way that aligns with their true selves.

If you're ready to take the next step in your journey, please feel free to reach out to discuss how we can work together.

Training, qualifications & experience

  • CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling (BACP accredited course)
  • BA (Hons) Psychology and Management studies

I have trained as a bereavement counsellor at Myton Hospice in Warwick and also worked as a bereavement counsellor for Campden Home Nursing. I have also worked for a national charity as a counsellor supporting adults and young people whose lives have been impacted by domestic abuse. I am experienced in working in a trauma informed way.

The issues I work with include bereavement and loss, life stage transitions, domestic abuse, trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, low confidence and self-esteem, attachment issues and relationship/family issues. You may not always have a specific reason for coming to counselling and maybe just feel that you are on the wrong path and are seeking some support to explore what direction you may want to take, what barriers may be in your way and how you may move towards the change you are looking for.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) - register number 395794. I am also fully insured and am committed to continued professional development to support my clients in the best way possible.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Accredited register membership

Further information

I offer a free initial chat, either on the phone or face to face, to give you the opportunity to briefly explain why you are seeking counselling and for you to ask any questions you may have. I fully appreciate that coming to counselling can feel very unfamiliar and daunting so it is important that you feel comfortable and you can connect with your counsellor.
