Tamasin Blake, NCPS

Tamasin Blake is a UK-based counsellor with eight years of clinical experience who combines a compassionate, person-centred way of working with targeted cognitive strategies. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that reflects formal training and commitment to good practice. Her approach foregrounds attentive, non-judgemental listening so clients have space to explore difficult emotions and gain clarity about what matters to them.

Tamasin practices holistically, acknowledging the links between mind, body and spirit. She encourages practical self-care such as attention to sleep, diet and exercise alongside noticing internal self-talk, because everyday habits often shape how people cope with stress and change. Where helpful, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured method for identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - to support measurable shifts in mood, sleep and anxiety.

She has particular experience working with trauma, recovery from abusive relationships and the lasting impact of partners with strong narcissistic traits. Her work also supports people facing relationship challenges, grief, addiction, career strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Tamasin offers a warm, respectful space for clients to build understanding, develop new coping skills and move toward clearer, kinder ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Tamasin works with client-centred therapy, which prioritises empathic listening and genuine acceptance so clients can explore their own values and choices at their own pace. This approach supports self-esteem, relationship issues and personal growth by creating a respectful space for reflection.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties or unhelpful coping. CBT offers practical, structured techniques to test and reshape thoughts and routines over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. As a registered professional, Tamasin collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the balance of listening, practical strategies and mindfulness work as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Tamasin is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around daily life and access support from familiar surroundings while working with a trained therapist.
