About Tamzin
Tamzin Brain is a UK-based counsellor with 14 years of experience. She combines counselling and therapeutic techniques to help people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by life. Tamzin focuses on practical steps that can improve day-to-day wellbeing, including sleep and rest concerns, and aims to help clients regain calm and clearer routines.
Her way of working is warm and person-centred. She listens first and adapts sessions to each person’s needs. Tamzin draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-focused strategies to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage stress, anxiety and low mood.
She also uses attachment-based thinking and dialectical skills when relationships or strong emotions are part of the problem. Sessions include talking, simple exercises, and exercises to practice between meetings. The goal is to make changes that fit into a client’s everyday life rather than to use lots of jargon.
Tamzin has a particular interest in sleep and rest, parenting stresses, grief, trauma and life changes. She also helps with body image, chronic health challenges, and difficulties linked to attachment and abandonment. Her background includes work across a range of emotional and practical concerns.
Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. Tamzin is listed with the NCPS, which appears in her professional details as supplied.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and making steady changes to daily routines such as sleep habits.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep-related difficulties by testing out new ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist discusses goals, tries approaches that suit the person, and adapts methods based on how someone responds. This is a steady, joint process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Practical benefits of online work can include easier fit around busy days and less travel time. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins, fit therapy into a lunch break, or avoid needing to travel for every appointment, while still allowing for guided exercises and between-session tasks.
