About Tamzin
Tamzin Brain is a UK-based counsellor with 14 years of experience supporting people through emotional and life challenges. She combines practical talking therapy with an intuitive, person-centred style. Tamzin aims to help people notice what is holding them back and take steps toward a more manageable life.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem. She also helps people cope with life changes, trauma and sleep difficulties.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns, anger and career stresses are among the practical issues she addresses in sessions. Tamzin draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas when these fit a person’s needs. She also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. She practices in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential as listed. Tamzin aims for a calm, respectful atmosphere where clients can speak freely and try small, manageable steps between appointments.
The work is collaborative: she listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals they want to work toward. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions according to the platform process and therapist availability.

Online support
How Tamzin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and how they shape relationships and self-view. In sessions the therapist helps a person name and sit with core emotions, which can reduce overwhelm and clarify what needs to change.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people how to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take small actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems that involve avoidance.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and expectations. Understanding these patterns can help people try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Tamzin treats choosing an approach as a shared task. She will listen to a person’s concerns, explain different ways of working, and agree a way forward together. That means trying techniques and adjusting the plan if something does not fit.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, and text or chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer written reflection. These options make therapy more flexible around work, travel and day-to-day life, while still allowing the therapist and client to focus on emotions and practical steps.
