Tamzin Brain, NCPS

Tamzin Brain is a UK-based counsellor with 14 years of experience. She holds NCPS and combines counselling with complementary approaches to support people through difficult times. Tamzin uses a person-centred, intuitive style that focuses on understanding each client’s experience. She aims to help people make practical changes in how they think and act, so they can move forward with more confidence.

Her practice commonly addresses stress, anxiety and depression, and extends to grief, sleep problems and parenting strains. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns and life changes. Tamzin works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and body image, and with long-term challenges such as chronic pain and caregiver stress.

Tamzin draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches to suit each person. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work alongside client-centred methods and skills from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions focus on talking through problems, noticing thought patterns and building practical habits that fit daily life.

Her manner is warm, accepting and non-judgemental. Tamzin aims to create a respectful working relationship where people can explore blocks, shift unhelpful patterns and build self-esteem. She also offers mindfulness and relaxation tools and has experience supporting behaviour change work.

To begin, people are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. After that they can schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Tamzin’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It uses simple exercises and values-based goals to build flexible habits that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop safer ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamzin works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions over time so techniques remain useful and practical for everyday life.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if video would be difficult, or schedule sessions around work, school runs and caregiving. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor exercises, mindfulness practices and homework to suit the online setting so progress continues between sessions.
