About Tammy

Tammy Payne is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. She draws on seven years of professional practice and earlier training experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and other complex difficulties. Tammy keeps sessions warm and grounded.

She emphasises compassion and helps clients build self-compassion as a practical skill. That foundation makes it easier to look at patterns of thinking and behaving without feeling overwhelmed.

Background and approach

In conversation she listens closely and works at the client’s pace. Tammy is mindful of how long it can take to trust someone new. She offers gentle challenge when it will help someone move forward and stays patient when people need more time to open up.

Her work pays attention to attachment concerns and how early experiences affect present relationships. Tammy also supports people dealing with dissociation, codependency, avoidant tendencies, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or pain. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical change as well as understanding.

She helps people notice small shifts that lead to better coping and clearer choices. Tammy aims to empower people to feel more able to live the life they want. She trained in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Sessions are offered in English and run online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape the way people connect now. It helps when trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns cause distress, and it offers ways to form more supported ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person’s lead, helping them find their own solutions and grow self-compassion.

The choice of approach is something to explore together. Tammy will discuss goals, personal preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods to match what each person needs in the moment.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits a face-to-face style conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets someone work through thoughts in writing. These options give flexibility for different schedules and life demands, making it easier to keep therapy consistent even when days are busy.
