Counselling in N1C
My work is grounded in a psychoanalytic approach, focusing on understanding early life experiences and their influences on a person's underlying emotional conflicts, unconscious process and personality and development. This approach emphasizes self-reflection over immediate solutions, allowing deeper emotional patterns to surface and paving the way for meaningful and lasting personal growth.
I have a private practice in London, and I'm an Honorary Psychodynamic Psychotherapist at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation (SLAM). As well as a clinician, I'm an Associate Professor in Sociology in Health and Sport.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply lost. Perhaps you’re holding onto something from the past that feels impossible to let go, or you find yourself stuck in a career or a relationship role that no longer fits who you are. These repeating thoughts and behaviors can leave you feeling trapped—unable to move forward or find the peace and joy.
I draw on my background in the NHS and Mind, alongside a lived understanding of the high-pressure worlds of Tech, Banking, and Advertising. If you are feeling overwhelmed or 'stuck,' I provide a confidential space where these specific challenges are deeply understood.

You've built a life for yourself, but something isn't quite adding up — and you're not sure whether it's your relationship, the past you haven't dealt with, anxiety around the future, or something you can't quite name.
You're high-functioning. You show up. But underneath, something is stuck — and you're tired of getting through it rather than actually changing it.
Maybe it's the patterns that keep repeating. The relationship hitting the same wall. The anxiety just beneath the surface. Whatever it is, if you're ready to stop managing and start changing, then I am the therapist for you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns you can’t shift? You might struggle to connect with your emotions or body, or find yourself overthinking and shutting down under stress.
In relationships, communication may feel hard, especially during conflict or when expressing needs. A contribution to this can be the experience of sexual difficulties both individually or in a relationship. This can impact both our confidence and create distance around engaging with intimacy.
Making sense of your behaviour patterns and why they repeat, could enable you feel calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself and others.

I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, past or present trauma, and LGBTQIA+ related issues; I am interested in the impact of shame and its influence on a person's life. Life can bring many challenges where you may feel overwhelmed. It may be a specific life event, relationship problems or work related stress; or an ongoing anxiety, depression or low mood that concerns you. Perhaps you have questions of identity? Or perhaps feel your life is lacking purpose? Life can be difficult to navigate and this is where counselling can support you.

Mental health difficulties come in many forms and can impact our lives profoundly. Struggles may have been with us for years, even forming part of our identity, or they may have appeared as if from nowhere. Our attempts to cope often draw from the same well that feeds the problem, making it difficult to change things alone. One of the many ways therapy works is by unlocking different thinking, awareness and experience, allowing problems to be truly addressed in a new, meaningful way.

Counselling offers a unique opportunity to pay focused attention to anything that you might want to talk about. This happens in an environment that feels safe, trusting and free of judgement. By exploring your past experiences, we can make connections in relation to your present circumstances.

You're a senior leader, a high performer, on paper successful but something's off. You're second-guessing decisions you used to make easily. You feel like an imposter in rooms where you clearly belong. Your role changed and suddenly you don't know what defines you anymore. Or you're at a career crossroads and can't figure out which direction to take or why any of it matters. You are missing clarity and want to understand why smart choices feel so hard. You want to know what patterns keep showing up and what you're actually afraid of. You want to see yourself clearly so you can move forward with confidence.

I work with a wide range of clients, however, most clients reach out to me when they are looking to work around relationships, low mood or anxiety, and difficulties in adjusting to change. Overall, my aim is to help my clients gain insight into their struggles and find different ways of thinking, behaving, and feeling about life and their circumstances. Change can sometimes be a painful and intimidating process, but working with someone willing to walk alongside you and help you develop the skills to manage the process can certainly make the therapeutic journey a pleasant and enjoyable one.

Relationship struggles, loss, and major transitions can pull us off balance. Sometimes nothing specific seems wrong, but something just doesn’t feel right. You might find yourself thinking, “everything is fine, so why do I feel like this?” Many of the people I work with are high-functioning and accomplished, yet carry a sense of longing, flatness, agitation, or just not being ‘good enough.’
Hey, I'm Tamara a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Accredited EMDR practitioner, with extensive specialist experience in various settings. I'm particularly passionate about supporting people with intergenerational and personal trauma,
