Tammy Lewis

Tammy Lewis is a counsellor who helps adults feeling lonely, isolated or overwhelmed. She meets people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. Tammy focuses on building confidence and finding practical ways to cope with life changes.

She works from the view that clients know their own lives best. Sessions are a place to talk through problems and to try out different ways of coping. Tammy may offer information, gentle suggestions and short tasks to try between meetings rather than telling people what to do.

Tammy trained as an integrative counsellor and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has three years of experience working with adults on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and workplace stress.

Her approach blends client-centred work with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas. This mix helps address current symptoms and patterns rooted in earlier experiences. Sessions aim to be conversational and focused on what the client wants to change.

All sessions are arranged on a weekly basis where possible, usually at the same day and time to provide continuity. Tammy offers sessions for people based in the United Kingdom and conducts them in English. She does not accept international clients at this time.

How Tammy’s approaches work for online counselling

Tammy blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help people online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience so they can find their own solutions; it is useful for people wanting a supportive place to talk. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and uses simple exercises to change them, which helps with anxiety, low mood and social fears. Psychodynamic elements explore how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships, which can clarify why repeated patterns happen.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and can adjust the plan as therapy progresses to suit the client’s needs.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to connect from different locations. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Many people find online sessions help keep continuity with weekly meetings and allow for practical tasks and homework between appointments.
