About me and my therapy practice
I am a therapist who works on the basis that the difficulties we encounter, can very often be traced back to past relationships and experiences. By creating a safe and strong therapeutic relationship, we will explore and gain insight into what the connection between your present feelings and past experiences might be, letting go of unhelpful messages and patterns, and reconnecting with and embracing emotions and aspects of yourself that have been suppressed. This will ultimately enable you to deal effectively with your current difficulties, moving forward toward a place of healing, wholeness and psychological wellbeing.
Engaging in the therapeutic process is not a quick fix and there are no guarantees, however in my experience, when the right connection between client and therapist is formed, there are very few issues that cannot be significantly relieved if not completely resolved.
As a person of dual British and Jordanian Heritage I find I am well placed to appreciate cross cultural and identity-based issues, allowing me to take a particularly broad and deep perspective on the many diverse and valid ways of being in the world.

I feel Tamara has given me the necessary tools to navigate my problems in a healthy way and she has made me realise an inner strength I didn’t know was there. My experience with her was incredibly positive. Simone (29yrs)Flight attendant, February 2022
With Tamara I undertook a journey that changed my life. She was exactly what I was hoping to find in a therapist, someone who would listen to me, and I could be vulnerable with, and at the right time, she would challenge me, so that I could grow. Chiara (30yrs)Trainee Psychotherapist, July 2021
With her there is no judgement. I didn't realise how impactful therapy could be until I teamed up with Tamara! Sarah (42yrs) PR Creative director, June 2020
Having worked with another therapist before I was nervous about starting therapy with someone else. However, this has been the most valuable counselling I have had to date; Tamara is kind but firm and became a voice I could trust in my pursuit of reworking my unhealthy thought processes. I'm forever grateful to her for this help. Daisy (26yrs) Marketing May 2021
