How Tamzin’s approaches work online
Tamzin uses Motivational Interviewing as a way to help people find their own reasons to change, guiding gentle conversations that focus on values and small steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values, useful for anxiety and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore patterns born of early relationships, which can be helpful for people struggling with abandonment or attachment worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tamzin treats the choice of methods as collaborative and tailors sessions to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and try things that suit the individual rather than insisting on a single model.
Session formats are not specified in this biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into life easier by removing travel time, allowing a quieter check-in during a lunch break, or offering conversations without being on camera if that helps. It can also let people access therapeutic tools such as mindfulness exercises and behavioural tasks between appointments, making it simpler to practise changes in daily life. -
