Tammy Payne helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or problems in relationships. She also supports people dealing with the effects of trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, panic, and issues around eating, dissociation and self-harm. Tammy is based in the United Kingdom and has seven years of professional experience combined with earlier training in voluntary and charity settings.

Her approach is grounded in kindness and self-compassion.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what the person brings and move at a pace they can manage. Tammy pays attention to trust and to each person’s readiness to open up, while offering gentle challenge when useful. She uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Client-centred ways of working keep the person’s experience central, with the counsellor following the client’s lead. Existential ideas help people name their values and make choices that feel meaningful. In practice this means practical conversation, reflection and small experiments between sessions.

Tammy will help people notice unhelpful patterns and try out different ways of relating to themselves and others. The aim is to build more self-compassion, steadier relationships and clearer choices. Her earlier training included work with charities that support survivors of sexual abuse, which informs her trauma-aware manner.

Tammy offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

How Tammy's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice how they attach to others and practise different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, offering a listening, non-judgemental presence that helps people feel understood and make their own choices. Existential therapy focuses on values and meaning, helping people consider what matters and make decisions that fit their life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Tammy will work collaboratively to identify which ideas feel most helpful for the person’s goals and preferences, and can adapt methods as understanding grows. This is a shared process where goals are reviewed and adjusted together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging for practical flexibility. Video suits fuller conversations and visual connection. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow quick contact and written reflection between calls. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping momentum between sessions.
