Tammy Payne

Hi. I'm Tammy.  It may not seem that you have the answers to your problems within yourself right now, especially if you are stuck, lost or overwhelmed, but I work with you on the premise that you do....By asking questions that help you connect to your feelings, I aim to listen with compassionate attention and I aim to help you invite your own self -compassionate attention. Sometimes just feeling heard can give you space to understand and value yourself. From there you may want to explore together with me: your patterns, your thinking or your way of being. You may not feel like exploring anything. You may just want to let out your distress with another human being. I am here for this. I believe this is a powerful step to take.

My approach is integrative, combining humanistic and existential ways of and existential ways of working:

The humanistic approach respects your uniqueness and works with how you are affected by the world and other people in your life, rather than clinically assessing or labelling you.

The existential approach sees your relationships as the key to understanding any anxiety, uncertainty and choices.
