Welcome. I meet each individual as they are, I don’t find labels helpful. Each individual has a healthy, creative part, the part that is seeking healing. With gentle curiosity we learn to trust this part of you, it leads our process, and over time, as we work together, new possibilities are found. If you are struggling with feelings of meaninglessness, stuckness, being lost, angry, depressed, disconnected; or are having difficult memories, maybe traumatic; difficulties with physical pain recovery or prescription drug addiction, I am happy to meet with you and talk about how we can work together. Please see www.tamsinabrahams.com

Are you constantly experiencing the breakdown of relationships leaving you feeling distressed, bewildered, let down and perhaps even angry with yourself for repeating these patterns? It can be devastating to keep finding ourselves stuck in this way. Whether in intimate relationships, family dynamics, friendships or work situations, I can help you explore these issues, in the hope of understanding their origins and gradually healing yourself, thus developing the possibility of healthier relationships with others. Maybe you have experienced some of the above and are also in the Creative/Performing Arts Community or Film/ Media.

I see children and young people aged from early childhood up to 19. The children and young people I see come for a variety of reasons including (but not limited to!) trauma, anxiety, self-harm, social difficulties, attachment related difficulties, eating disorders, depression and family conflict. I also provide parent guidance and consultation. I have been working clinically with children for 13 years. I have recently started my own private practice having worked for many years in the Yale Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic for Children.

I believe my strongest quality as a therapist is to make you feel accepted, understood, and most of all safe. I believe that only when we feel truly safe, free of judgment and condemnation can we trust, and trust is the most prized of all human emotions. My approach will enable you to be fully involved in every step of the therapy process and to feel truly engaged in every step you take towards your happiness. I am very clear in explaining to my clients what I offer and how I work.

Hi, my name is Sanna and I am qualified integrative counsellor and member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Have you experienced trauma and finding it difficult to move on with your life? Perhaps you are feeling stuck, anxious, scared, struggling with a sense of loss in your life or uncertain which direction to take. I offer warm, non-judgemental and confidential safe space where together we can explore what is worrying you at your pace. I can support individuals coping with significant life changing events such as serious illness, redundancy, divorce or bereavement, or any transition that feels challenging.

My goal is to work with you on what you want to achieve. This usually starts with exploring you and your life to identity what we're working with. Below you will find where I have experience, what I need from you is a willingness to work together, if you feel that I'm not the right fit for you after a session, that is quite ok!

Do you feel like it is difficult to reach your partner emotionally, are you being stone walled, afraid of conflict or are you people pleasing for a quiet life? Do you have a pattern of being submissive, passive aggressive or unable to effectively communicate your wants and needs? Do you feel like you and your partner don’t understand each other or feel as if you have married your mother or father? Couples therapy aims to uncover reactionary aspects of yourself that lead to discontent and a loss of connection and intimacy in your relationship. We will examine unhelpful dynamics and behavioural patterns and explore where you are stuck

Wondering what to do, unsure what or who can help. And how? Whatever is troubling you, whatever is getting you down you don't have to struggle alone. Talking to someone outside your circle of family, friends or even colleagues at work can be the start of a new path. A path where you can discover how you got to this place in your life. And perhaps more importantly what it is you are seeking.

Life is rarely easy, and sometimes our problems are too much to bear alone. Therapy answers our natural, human need to be heard and understood at the deepest level. The experience of feeling truly 'met' by another person can bring a fresh perspective, and help us find the calm and clarity we need for real change and healing to occur.

I am a trainee psychotherapist with a private practice in Bath. I offer low cost, affordable and open-ended therapy, I provide a safe space to explore your difficulties in a non-judgmental and collaborative way. There may be many different reasons why you turn to therapy, perhaps you are finding yourself repeating unhelpful patterns of behaviour and need some company on the journey, someone who can facilitate the process of creating new, helpful and positive patterns.

We all are subject to emotions like low moods, worries and frustrations; it’s all part of being human, the brain we inherit and the effect of our environment. However, when these emotions turn chronic, exaggerated and persistent, we suffer from situations like depression, anxiety and anger, which impact on our lives and well-being. These emotions spill over, adversely affecting our goals and relationships at home and at work

When we feel stuck, experience difficult emotions, or the challenges we have are distressing, finding a space to work through and move beyond what has led you to experience those difficulties can feel overwhelming in itself. By working together we look to create that space where you can explore to address your difficulties and make sense of the distress, while supporting you to feel confident to successfully move beyond them.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
