About Tamsyn
Tamsyn Spear is a counsellor with 11 years of professional experience in the UK. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them and explore change at their own pace. Her work is collaborative and practical, helping people take small, achievable steps forward.
She has worked across the voluntary sector and the NHS, and has earlier experience within local council services supporting adults, children and young people.
Background and approach
That background means she is used to a wide range of concerns, from everyday stress to more complex life changes. She also has experience supporting parents and carers through the pressures of raising children. Tamsyn helps people tackle stress, anxiety and low mood.
She supports those coping with grief, trauma and addiction, and addresses anger, compassion fatigue and self-esteem concerns. Relationship and family problems, parenting strains, and issues around separation or blended families are also within her focus. Her practice attends to deeper patterns too, including attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
She works with people to clarify what change would look like and to build motivation and confidence to get there. Tamsyn uses a blend of evidence-based techniques tailored to each person. Sessions aim to be practical and kind, with an emphasis on the relationship between counsellor and client.
She speaks English and sees people in the United Kingdom.

Online support
Brief Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress when people want concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Attachment-informed and systemic ideas look at patterns in close relationships and family dynamics to understand how current difficulties developed. These approaches help when communication problems, codependency or family-of-origin issues are part of the concern.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options and tailor techniques to a person’s goals, needs and preferences rather than applying a single method. Together they decide what to try first and review progress as therapy continues.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are closest to traditional sessions, phone work suits those who prefer not to use video, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when a written format feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and make it straightforward to continue care when life is busy.
