Background and approach
She also offers gentle challenge when that will help a person see different patterns in how they think and behave. Her work often centres on attachment and how early relating shapes current connections. Tammy combines that perspective with client-centred conversation to help people feel heard and understood.
She also draws on existential ideas to look at personal meaning and choices when life feels stuck. People come to her for a range of issues from panic and dissociation to codependency, chronic illness and eating-related concerns. She has specific experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and abuse from her charity work during training.
Tammy works in English and practices across online session formats. She aims to help people build lasting self-compassion so they can make changes that fit their everyday lives.
How Tammy’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in close relationships and practise new ways of relating and trusting others. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without direction and follows the client’s lead to help them feel heard, understood and more able to make choices that fit their life. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt the mix of approaches accordingly. Together they decide what feels most helpful and adjust as work progresses. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and health needs while keeping the therapeutic focus on meaningful change.Questions people ask
