Tamasin Blake, NCPS

Tamasin Blake is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and grief. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, addictions, sleep problems and life changes. Tamasin draws on eight years of professional experience and aims to offer calm, practical help to people in difficult moments.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She listens first, giving space for people to describe what feels hard. From there she helps people make sense of their situation and spot small, workable steps forward.

Tamasin uses client-centred ways of working alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when that approach fits the issue. She describes her overall outlook as holistic, noting how sleep, diet, exercise and inner self-talk all affect wellbeing. She encourages simple daily changes as part of longer term work.

She has particular experience supporting people recovering from abusive relationships and from trauma linked to life events. She has helped people who have been affected by partners with narcissistic traits and those rebuilding after separation.

Tamasin holds the NCPS credential and practises in the United Kingdom. Her approach combines careful listening with practical techniques to reduce distress and increase clarity. If you want a steady, compassionate presence while you work through change, she offers a gentle, task-focused way forward.

How these approaches work online and in everyday life

Tamasin works from a client-centred foundation which means the conversation starts with what you want to talk about. This way of working focuses on listening, reflecting and helping you find your own direction rather than giving advice. It suits people who need space to clarify feelings and make decisions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is practical and goal‑focused, and can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and stress. Mindfulness therapy is offered to help people bring attention to the present moment, reduce repetitive worry and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right combination is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life demands and will tailor sessions together with you. This collaborative approach helps decide whether to prioritise listening, practical CBT tasks or mindfulness exercises.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. It can also let you use exercises between meetings to build new habits in daily life.
