My name is Kezia, I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and Registered Mental Health Nurse. In addition to CBT, I also offer Compassion Focused and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) based sessions. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. One of my particular interests is working with women experiencing pre/post natal mental health difficulties. I developed this interest after embarking on my own journey into parenthood. I am also especially interested in working with people who experience high levels of self-criticism (including perfectionism) or people who struggle with their self esteem.

I look to help someone who is lost and needs to find themselves after experiences which are deep and traumatic and require revisiting in order to process, accept and start a new journey, despite their past. You may have anxiety, depression, sadness, bad dreams, feel lost or are currently going through a difficult time as a result of news, a loss, a new experience. You may need a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings and reactions, to make sense of what has happened, or what is happening. Ultimately you want to reach a place where you feel good, and can live life thoroughly. We can work together to get you to that place.

Has your self-worth hit rock bottom and you automatically put yourself down thinking you are not good enough? Are you holding yourself back through self-doubt, fear of failure and perfectionism? Low self-esteem & confidence can impact all areas of your life bringing a sense of un-fulfilment and fear of not living to your potential. Working together we will identify and overcome the challenges you’re facing, discover what you want instead, and co-create a lifestyle that enables your best hopes for yourself to emerge. Start to radiate self-assurance, positivity and a ‘can do’ attitude to say yes to life’s opportunities.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed or burnt out? Are you a perfectionist with unrelenting standards and highly self-critical? Do you find yourself sabotaging your relationships? Whatever your circumstances, I am here to help. ‘Tutum' is a latin word which means 'safe'. I founded Tutum Psychology to provide a safe space for people to talk.

It is impossible for any of us to escape the ever increasing challenges in our lives and when things get on top of us, whatever the cause it can help to talk to someone not directly involved in your day to day life. Counselling is somewhere for you to be heard and offers a confidential and private space where you can think about and discuss your thoughts, emotions, events and relationships allowing you to work through these and make sense of your choices. Talking with a professional gives you the opportunity to explore challenging issues and obtain coping strategies for the future.

Hi, I'm Nathaniel (or Nat for short). I offer a professional counselling and psychotherapy service, working in-person, online, by telephone, or outdoors/walk and talk. I take pride in being open-minded and easy going, and hope to create a space where you feel able to talk openly, without being judged or dismissed. I am passionate about helping people live happier and less burdened lives, but appreciate that life is different for everyone. Our sessions will therefore involve talking through your concerns, trying to understand things better, and trying to find the insight or acceptance that could help you feel more at ease.

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 counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors 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, 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 counsellors. Many have been licensed by the country or state 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 counseling. 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.
