Welcome, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. With over 11 years of experience and UK credentials, I am committed to providing you with compassionate and professional support for your emotional and mental well-being.
In our therapy sessions, you can expect a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. I am dedicated to creating an environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
My approach is grounded in empathy, and I will work with you to address any challenges you may be facing, such as stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, confidence, or family or career difficulties. My approach to therapy is psychodynamic, which means exploring the deeper, underlying factors influencing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to gain insight into patterns that may be affecting your current emotional well-being. The psychodynamic approach fosters self-awareness and understanding, empowering you to unravel the roots of your emotional challenges.
Therapy is a courageous step towards personal growth, and I am here to walk alongside you on this journey towards positive change.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

After my trauma, I was able to speak freely on camera with her
I really like working with Tamara. Tamara speaks in a way that is sincere, gentle, and clear. I feel heard and understood in our work together, and I feel that she can meet me where I am, encouraging me in my journey without pushing, and helping me celebrate the progress I'm making. I'm very happy to have connected with her.
I highly recommend Tamara
