About Tamasin
Counsellor and NCPS member Tamasin Blake has eight years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief and self esteem. She also supports people with addictions, sleep problems, anger, career concerns, depression and coping with life changes. Sessions are held in the United Kingdom and are conducted in English.
Tamasin uses a person-centred way of working. That means she listens closely and helps clients make sense of what is happening to them. She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, where helpful, to address thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are suggested when they fit a client's needs.
In practice she focuses on practical change as well as understanding. She encourages people to notice daily routines like sleep, diet and exercise and how these affect mood and energy. Conversations aim to make patterns clearer and to identify small, manageable steps forward.
Tamasin has particular experience supporting people after abusive relationships and with trauma from life events. She has worked with people affected by partners who show narcissistic traits. Her approach is steady and direct, with a focus on clarity rather than jargon.
She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment and codependency, and helps with communication, commitment and control problems. People who want to begin are asked to use the site process to match and arrange an initial session.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and understanding. The counsellor reflects what the client says and helps make sense of feelings. It suits people who need space to talk and be heard.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and breathing or awareness practices. These can reduce rumination and help with sleep and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamasin will discuss preferences, goals and what is most helpful for daily life. Together the client and counsellor decide which methods to use and when to try something different.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the format options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy around work, family or travel. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and arrange meetings at times that suit a busy life.
