About Tamzin
Tamzin Brain is a UK-based counsellor with 14 years of experience. She combines counselling and therapeutic tools to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or drained by life’s pressures. Tamzin works in a warm, non-judgemental way to help clients build confidence and cope with change.
Her practice often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief and sleep problems. Parenting concerns, anger and career worries are also part of her caseload. She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, and supports people managing chronic illness, caregiving stress and body-image concerns.
Background and approach
Tamzin uses a person-centred, client-led style. Sessions aim to make space for each person’s story and priorities, then use practical strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. Techniques draw from cognitive behavioural approaches, acceptance and commitment ideas, and emotion-focused methods as needed.
People may work on changing unhelpful thinking, building acceptance of difficult feelings, strengthening relationships and developing healthier routines for sleep and self-care. The therapist also offers tools for anger, codependency and communication problems. Work can include mindset shifts and learning new ways to respond to challenges.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by a mix of video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. The therapist helps people choose formats that fit their life and goals. Practical information about cost and how the subscription works is provided when starting the service.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match their values. Online ACT sessions might include values work, simple exercises to notice thoughts, and practical steps to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking. In video or phone sessions the therapist will guide problem-solving, set small experiments to try at home, and teach skills for sleep and stress management.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online work can involve reflecting on relationship patterns, practising new interaction strategies, and building more supported ways of relating to others, which can help with parenting concerns and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging suits brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility limits while keeping a steady course of treatment.
