About Tamasin

Tamasin Blake is a counsellor who works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and low self esteem. She also offers support for addictions, anger, sleeping problems, career worries and coping with life changes. Tamasin uses a calm, non-judgemental manner to listen and help people find clarity about what they are feeling and facing.

Her approach is grounded in person-centred listening, often called Client-Centred Therapy, where the focus is on understanding the person in front of her. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when practical tools are helpful. Mindfulness ideas are woven in to help people notice patterns of thought and bodily signals.

Tamasin describes her work as holistic. She pays attention to the links between mind, body and spirit and encourages small day-to-day changes such as sleep, movement and noticing inner self-talk. This practical focus aims to give people clear steps to try between sessions.

She has eight years of experience and holds the NCPS credential. Tamasin has particular experience supporting people recovering from abusive relationships and helping those affected by traumatic life events. She has also worked with issues related to attachment, abandonment and codependency.

Her style is steady, respectful and warm. She invites people to bring whatever they are carrying and to take time to explore it at their own pace. The initial steps are simple: complete a short questionnaire and then arrange a session that fits individual needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. In practice this means the counsellor gives space for the client to speak, reflects what she hears and helps the client make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, relationship pain, low self-worth and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them. It often includes short exercises or experiments to try between meetings and can help with anxiety, mood and sleep problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt the mix of listening, CBT tasks and mindfulness practice in collaboration with the client. Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from familiar surroundings or need sessions that fit around work or caring commitments.
