About Tamsyn

Tamsyn Spear offers a collaborative, person-centred approach to counselling. She creates a calm space where people can talk about what matters to them and consider the changes they want to make. She draws on eleven years of professional experience working across the voluntary sector and the NHS in the United Kingdom.

Before that she spent several more years supporting adults, children and young people through local council services. This range of work means she is used to different life stages and practical challenges.

Background and approach

Tamsyn supports people with stress, anxiety, low mood and depression. She helps with relationship tensions, family problems and parenting challenges. She also works with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions and compassion fatigue.

Her practice looks at how past relationships and attachment patterns shape present choices. She uses transactional analysis and gestalt ideas alongside mindfulness and brief cognitive behavioural approaches. These are chosen with the person in the room, to match their needs and goals.

Tamsyn aims to make counselling accessible and non-judgemental. She offers a steady, respectful presence while people explore difficult memories, work on self‑esteem or plan practical steps forward. The emphasis is on small, realistic changes that feel manageable for each person.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Tamsyn lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options

Tamsyn uses person-centred work to build a trusting relationship where the person leads the conversation and their priorities guide the goals. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk, feel heard and decide what change looks like for them.

She also draws on brief cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. These techniques are practical and can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching small coping steps and new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tamsyn will discuss different ideas with each person and agree which methods to try, based on their needs, goals and preferences. The plan is shaped together and reviewed as things progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls let people work face to face from another location. Phone sessions need lower bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make counselling flexible and easier to use alongside everyday life.
