About Tamzin
Tamzin Brain is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience in helping people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She works with clients who are struggling with grief, low self-esteem, depression, sleep problems and difficulties linked to trauma or abuse.
Tamzin uses a person-centred, somatic-informed approach alongside talking therapies to help people notice how their body and emotions are connected. Her style is warm and practical.
Background and approach
She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts the pace to match their needs. Sessions focus on clear, small steps that a person can try between meetings, rather than only talking through problems. Tamzin draws on several well-known approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work and cognitive behavioural ideas.
She aims to help people build coping skills, reduce unhelpful thoughts and strengthen emotional regulation through both conversation and body-focused techniques. Her experience covers a wide range of concerns such as parenting stresses, career anxieties, chronic pain and relationship struggles rooted in attachment or abandonment. Tamzin also supports people facing fertility worries and issues linked to caregiving responsibilities.
Tamzin holds NCPS as a credential and offers sessions in English. She provides therapy online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and works with clients located in the United Kingdom only.
How Tamzin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Somatic-informed work focuses on the link between body sensations and emotion. Online sessions can include simple body awareness practices, grounding exercises and guidance to notice physical responses to stress, which helps with anxiety, trauma and sleep problems.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small committed steps towards those values. In online sessions this looks like short experiential exercises, values work and practical actions to try between meetings, useful for low mood, stress and life changes.
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns. Through conversation and reflective exercises the therapist helps people spot attachment-related triggers and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others, which can help with abandonment and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamzin treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences and practicalities to tailor a plan that feels right for each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice-only contact, and live chat or text-based messaging give brief, on-the-day support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family, work and health commitments.
