Tamsin Taylor

I predominately work Monday to Friday between 9.30am - 3.30pm  I do have some flexibility so please do ask if these times do not work. 

I offer both online and in person sessions.

I take most major insurance plans including AXA and BUPA.

Sometimes we feel lonely and isolated and find it difficult to talk about our feelings and fears.
 Events and experiences in our lives can throw up hurdles and challenges which are difficult to negotiate. We may feel we lose direction, and sense of our own identity and purpose. The people in our lives may not be able to offer us the kind of support we need.

I have worked extensively with clients suffering with depression and anxiety, often helping clients when they decide they wish to stop taking anti depressants. It is common for me to work with individuals with relationship issues, whether that be with a spouse, partner, family member of friend. I have worked with many clients that are survivors of sexual abuse and therefore have a clear understanding of what it is to work with both historical and current trauma. I really enjoy working with adults and young people alike. I have had the pleasure of working with student counsellors as they complete their university counselling course, which is always a fascinating journey to be part of.

I believe the relationship that develops between a client and counsellor is the key to therapeutic change which is why I feel it is important that we connect before you commit to therapy sessions. I offer a 30 min, free of charge online initial session so you are able to meet me and decide if my approach will be suitable for you.

I am an experienced and approachable, fully qualified and BACP accredited humanistic counsellor. I currently work in private practice where I see individuals on either a short or long term basis, depending on requirements. I am happy to discuss your individual needs on the phone, or via email, before we meet.

As well as working in private practice I have worked as a school counsellor so held an advanced CRB certificate. I also worked at the As You Are Centre in Southwick. The clients accessing these settings provided me with invaluable experience working with a broad age range, with diverse issues and concerns.

Many of the clients I have had success with have been struggling with relationship issues. Sometimes with their husband, wife or partner, sometimes it is with parents and children. I believe counselling can help you see what you need from relationships and the best way forward in your given circumstances.

I have extensive experience working with survivors of abuse.

I specialise working with women’s health, in particular PMDD.

I work with many clients with autism or/and ADHD

I have many clients from the LGBTQ+ community.

If you decided to see me for counselling sessions my first priority is to create a warm, safe, non-judgmental environment, so you are able to explore the issues or decisions important to you. My role is not to advise you what to do, it is to listen to your concerns and build a trusting relationship, so you can begin to gain clarity and acceptance.

I accept most major insurances including BUPA, AXA, Vitality, Aviva 

Are you feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts?

Do you find yourself overthinking every conversation, replaying situations in your mind long after they’ve passed? Or lying awake at night, unable to quiet your mind?

Maybe you feel like you're too much for some people but not enough for others. It’s exhausting, isn’t it? And sometimes it can feel like you're carrying a weight that no one else understands.

I’m here to offer you a safe space to unpack all of that. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, PMDD or the challenges of navigating relationships, you don’t have to carry this burden alone. It’s okay to take a step back and ask for help when things feel too heavy. Together, we’ll work at your pace, and I’ll be by your side as you start to feel more grounded, understood, and in control.

I work with clients who are neurodivergent, particularly those with autism, ADD, or ADHD. I am proud to work with many clients from the LGBTQ+ community.  If you're dealing with relationship difficulties, whether it's with a partner, family member, or friend, I can help you navigate those tough conversations and rebuild connection. If you're facing the pain of separation or divorce, I can support you through those changes. If you've experienced trauma, whether it’s recent or from the past, we’ll work through it together in a way that honors your experience and helps you find healing.

The first step in therapy can be the hardest, and I understand how intimidating it can feel to open up about your struggles. That’s why I offer a free 30-minute initial session—so we can connect and see if my approach feels right for you. There’s no pressure, just an opportunity to explore how we can work together to help you find peace and clarity.

Take the first step at your own pace. I’m here to support you, however you need.

Many of my clients suffer with PMDD and I am one of the few therapists with extensive experience working with woment with this condition.

I have extensive experience working with survivors of abuse. I practise in a trauma informed way using EMDR and have an interest in IFS.

I work with a number of EAP providers and I can also accept many private health insurance providers, like BUPA and AXA.

I have also worked for many years in the private sector, where I trained staff and consulted with senior management. I therefore have gained insight to the stresses faced by all levels throughout a business.
