Hello, I’m Tamsyn, a Psychodynamic Counsellor working with adults and young people (11+). Whether you’re facing a difficult situation, coping with grief, anxiety, or depression, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to explore your experiences and emotions.

With over 20 years of experience supporting adults, children and young people in various settings, I understand the challenges people face and the importance of having a compassionate space to reflect and process. I have experience working with neurodiverse individuals and appreciate the unique ways they navigate the world. My approach is flexible, understanding and tailored to individual needs.

I work in a trauma-informed way, prioritising safety, choice and empowerment. My aim is to help clients feel seen, accepted, and supported, enabling them to express themselves freely and work towards meaningful change.

I provide both open-ended, long-term psychodynamic counselling for deeper exploration and short-term, solution-focused sessions for those seeking targeted support. My approach is flexible, allowing me to adapt to your unique needs and circumstances.

In my work with children and young people, I integrate a psychodynamic thinking with a proactive approach. This may involve more of an emphasis on personal growth, self-improvement and building resilience. Young people often struggle to articulate their feelings, and I provide a safe environment where they can express themselves, build resilience and develop a stronger sense of self.

I also specialize in Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) for individuals who have experienced trauma or PTSD. This approach helps clients process and integrate traumatic memories, using storytelling as a therapeutic tool to bring clarity, understanding and relief.

In our sessions, I prioritise building a trusting and supportive relationship with you. Together, we will explore the emotions, experiences and unconscious processes that shape your thoughts, behaviours and relationships. By bringing these hidden influences to light, you can gain valuable insight into your inner world.
