About Tamzin
Tamzin Brain is a UK-based counsellor with 14 years of clinical experience. She holds NCPS and has worked extensively with people facing anxiety, stress, depression and grief. Tamzin aims to help people who feel blocked from living the life they want and supports practical steps towards greater confidence and calm.
Her style is person-centred and intuitive. Sessions focus on understanding each person’s experience from their point of view. She draws on a mix of approaches to help people make mindset shifts and break unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Tamzin uses practical tools to address sleeping problems, phobias, parenting stress, anger and career worries. She also offers support with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Short-term strategies and longer-term ways of coping are both part of the work.
In sessions she aims to be non-judgemental and open-minded. Clients can expect empathy, listening and practical suggestions they can try between meetings. The aim is to build confidence and steady everyday coping skills.
Tamzin works online and offers several session formats to suit different needs. People who prefer a collaborative, flexible approach and clear day-to-day strategies may find her way of working helpful.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move a person towards a life they care about, which can help with anxiety and depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for panic, phobias and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful and try methods collaboratively. Sessions can include brief skill practice, goal setting and reviewing what helps between meetings so the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for deeper conversations and exercises, phone works well for lower bandwidth or if someone prefers not to be on camera, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and health commitments.
