Tamsin Haskins

I welcome new clients to my practice; Please get in touch with me about availability.

Hello, I am Tamsin, I have extensive experience working therapeutically with adults and young people and diverse client groups. My practice is grounded in the humanistic approach, complemented by various other training I have undertaken. This enables me to utilise therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs.

I firmly believe that you are the expert in your life. My role is to guide and support you in uncovering the insights and strengths already within you. I am particularly interested in how early attachments and experiences shape our relationship and overall sense of self. These early connections and experiences can profoundly influence your nervous system, potentially leading to physical discomfort, illness, or presenting as stress, depression, or anxiety when emotional blockages occur. I will compassionately listen to your unique experiences and perspectives, and together, we can work to identify and resolve these emotional blockages, enabling you to grow, find new meanings, and restore balance in your life. 

The most successful factor for positive change, regardless of the type of therapy, is the relationship between client and therapist. Therefore, I offer warmth, empathy, kindness and respect. When a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship evolves, it helps to foster curiosity, compassion, and creativity, enabling you to find new meanings and achieve positive change.

In addition to my private practice, I facilitate group reflective practice and workshops in the workplace and schools. 

Seeking therapy can arise for various reasons, whether they are clear or not. Sometimes, it’s difficult to pinpoint precisely what’s wrong, yet you feel it. It might stem from experiences of anxiety, depression, emotional or physical abuse, grief or bereavement or challenging relationships in childhood or later life.

The first step of seeking therapy is hard; I know from personal experience that sitting with difficult thoughts and feelings can feel daunting; I will work at your pace and in a way that accompanies you to the edges of what you may be bringing, safely containing that within our therapeutic relationship. I focus on building an in-depth therapeutic relationship, which is the essence of healing and growth.

I offer compassion, curiosity and care and encourage you to be curious so that together we can explore how difficult experiences, emotions, and feelings relate to your sense of self and relationships with others; my approach aims to help you deepen your self-awareness while understanding your emotions and connect mind and body as emotional blockages can impact physical health. 

Our first session will be an initial consultation to discuss what has brought you to therapy and what you are hoping to seek from it.
