About Tamzin
Tamzin Brain is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people cope with life changes, trauma and sleep difficulties. Tamzin also supports parents who are struggling with the pressures of caring and people facing career or anger issues.
She uses a person-centred way of working that aims to understand each person’s experience from their point of view. That means sessions often begin by listening closely and checking what matters most to the client. Tamzin draws on several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and applies them as needed in conversation and practical exercises.
In practice she helps people name painful emotions and the relationship patterns that keep those feelings going. Sessions may include talking through thoughts and behaviours, noticing patterns in relationships, and practising simple strategies to manage stress, sleep and mood. Where appropriate she brings mindfulness and relaxation techniques to reduce daily tension.
Tamzin also offers support around attachment issues, abandonment concerns, body image and communication problems. She works with people affected by chronic illness, caregiver strain, fertility and fatherhood worries, and difficulties linked to autism and personality challenges.
Sessions are presented in clear, everyday language and focus on small achievable changes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session to agree goals and practical steps.
How Tamzin’s approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming intense emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them going. It can help when people struggle to say what they feel or when old attachment wounds shape current relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions.
An attachment-based perspective looks at how early relationships influence present behaviour and emotional reactions. This can be useful for issues around abandonment, intimacy and communication problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tamzin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That discussion usually happens during the first session and is reviewed over time as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits of online work include fitting appointments around work or childcare and reducing travel time. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or phone-style conversations when needed, and they make it easier to continue therapy if circumstances change.
