How Tamzin’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that align with what matters. It can help with anxiety, low mood and coping when life feels uncertain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviours to reduce distress. It is useful for worry, sleep problems and managing stress day to day.

Attachment-Based ideas are used to understand how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling safe with others. This can support people dealing with abandonment, trust issues and difficulties forming closer bonds.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a plan together. Changes are usually gradual and shaped by what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial expressions and hold a full conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, reflection between sessions and people who prefer written communication. These options help therapy fit around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
