How Tamzin's Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then make choices that match their values. It can help with anxiety, anger and life changes by encouraging committed action even when emotions are uncomfortable.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. It suits issues such as low mood, sleep problems, worrying and stress by teaching skills to test and change thinking and routine.

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and relationship styles. It can be useful for work on abandonment, communication problems and developing steadier responses to relational triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as having shorter check-ins during a work break or avoiding travel time. It also allows people to work from quieter surroundings or to choose not to be on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises, homework and relaxation practices so they work well in remote sessions.
