About Tamasin

Tamasin Blake works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions and sleep problems using person-centred listening and cognitive behavioural approaches. She is a member of the NCPS and has eight years' experience in counselling practice in the United Kingdom.

Tamasin uses a listening-centred method that encourages people to talk through what matters to them. She keeps sessions focused on understanding how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are linked. Where useful she uses practical CBT techniques to break unhelpful patterns and support clearer coping strategies.

She pays attention to how daily routines affect mood and recovery. Sleep, diet and movement are discussed where they matter to presenting concerns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with grounding and reducing reactivity in stressful moments.

Tamasin has worked with people recovering from abusive relationships and with those affected by trauma related to life events. She also helps with difficulties linked to attachment, abandonment and codependency, and with issues such as guilt, shame and infidelity. Sessions cover both immediate coping and longer term behaviour change.

The approach is collaborative and straightforward. Tamasin aims to help people gain clarity about patterns that cause distress and to practise practical steps to manage them. She invites people to consider simple day-to-day changes alongside what they discuss in sessions.

Using client-centred, CBT and mindfulness online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's concerns. The counsellor offers non-judgemental listening and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour. It uses short practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and develop alternative ways of coping, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These exercises are short and can be practised between sessions to support day-to-day management of stress and anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss a person's needs, goals and preferences and agree what to try first, adjusting methods over time based on what helps.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when that suits practical requirements.
