Tamasine Norton, BACP

Tamasine Norton is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression.

Tamasine aims to create an open and non-judgemental space where people can say what they really feel. She encourages straightforward conversation and listens closely to how difficulties show up in day-to-day life. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can make life more manageable.

Her approach is centred on the person in front of her. Tamasine helps clients talk through emotions, understand patterns, and work out practical steps to cope. She pays attention to relationships and attachment issues, and to the impact of loss, shame or guilt.

She also has experience with addiction, domestic violence, blended family problems, and obsessive or compulsive thoughts. Tamasine supports people dealing with self-harm urges, social anxiety, sexual assault and related distress. She offers calm guidance around midlife changes and feelings of isolation.

Tamasine uses clear language and steady listening. People who want a supportive, patient counsellor to help them sort through difficult feelings find her easy to talk to. Taking the first step can feel hard and she focuses on making that step simple and manageable.

Client-centred support online and how it helps

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and reflects what the client says, helping them understand their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship patterns because it focuses on the person's own goals and pace.

Working online, the therapist will explore which ways of working suit each person best. That choice is a shared decision - the counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to find the best fit. If approaches need to change as therapy progresses, this will be reviewed together.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter updates or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options give flexibility and make ongoing support more accessible for different routines and needs.
