About Tamzin
Tamzin Brain is a UK-based counsellor with 14 years of experience. She brings a compassionate, person-centred style to sessions and aims to help people untangle the issues holding them back. Tamzin uses a blend of practical talking therapies to support people through stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.
Her approach is intuitive and flexible. She listens to how each person sees their situation and adapts methods to suit that view. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps to relieve symptoms and build day-to-day coping skills.
Tamzin draws on a range of therapeutic tools, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help people challenge unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. She also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how past relationships shape present behaviour.
People come to her for many concerns such as sleep problems, parenting strain, chronic pain or career stress. Tamzin also works with issues like codependency, body image, and abandonment worries when these affect someone’s day-to-day life.
Her sessions combine listening, practical exercises and reflective conversation. The goal is to help people feel steadier, make clearer choices and improve confidence. Tamzin explains concepts plainly and offers tools clients can use between sessions.
How her approaches can help in online sessions
Tamzin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, while focusing on what matters most to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and making values-based choices.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and find new ways to connect and feel safer in themselves. This can be helpful for worries about abandonment, codependency and relationship patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Tamzin will explore your goals, needs and preferences and suggest methods that fit you. She adapts tools as sessions progress so the work feels practical and relevant.
