Tamsin Palmer

out of office july 3-10

I listen and discuss your case and offer any comments i think might be helpful .

I have been practicing for the past 20 years

I work with adults with whatever issue they want to discuss.

I have developed the way I work so that although I trained as a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapist I now work in a much more open way using all my experience and development creatively to help each individual as much as I can.

In supervision I listen to the case the counsellor or therapist brings and then we start discussing the case in detail focusing on the issues the therapist wishes to discus.

I work during the day 9.30-6.00

I am now working face to face and online.

Both these options of therapy are £50-£60 per session.

However, I can offer this at a lower fee for concessionary rates.

I am an experienced qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist.

I have been practising privately for 22 years with adults from 18 to 80 years old. 

In the past I have experience working

Privately - 

I have worked with people who have self referred and who want to work on issues which are causing them pain and anxiety - either caused by recent events or aspects of their lives which have been difficult for them for a long time.  

Early experience of poor care and difficult family relationships are very likely to affect our sense of self and our emotional well being in later life.

I have also  in a GP Surgery - people coming with all sorts of issues which are affecting their well-being.

I have also  in Student Counselling Services - Working with students who have personal problems to deal with while they study.

Before training as a Psychotherapist I was a full-time University Lecturer in English Literature at Dublin University.

As a student I obtained a first class degree in French and English Literature  in Dublin and a post graduate degree on the novels of George Eliot from Cambridge University.

My interest in character and emotions in fiction let led me to train as a psychotherapist and counsellor in order to work with people experiencing difficulties in their lives.

Wherever I work I aim to establish a relaxed, informal and friendly relationship quickly so that we can begin to look at what may be difficult and painful issues easily with a feeling of safety, respect and confidence. We then consider what might help you in our sessions together.

I offer short term work - up to 12 sessions 

Longer if the issues require more time.

This can be discussed when we meet.

I offer short term- counselling 6-12 sessions (more if necessary)

and also supervision for trainees.

In the first session we will look at what brings you and have a good discussIon about all the issues involved.

We will then consider what might help you in our work together and discuss the practical arrangements which might suit you best.
