Tammy Payne, BACP

Tammy Payne trained in the United Kingdom and brings seven years of professional practice to her therapeutic work, complemented by two years of training with organisations and charities such as Mind and Kinergy where she specialised in supporting survivors of sexual abuse. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and depression, among other challenges. Tammy grounds her approach in compassion and places self-compassion at the centre of therapy so clients can safely explore how they think, feel, and behave in the world and in relationships.

She works collaboratively with whatever each person brings to sessions, staying mindful of their capacity to build trust and to open up, while remaining ready to offer gentle challenge when it will help progress. Tammy views the decision to seek therapy as a courageous first step toward a more fulfilling life and aims to support and empower people throughout that journey. Her clinical approaches include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Tammy holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional organisation in the United Kingdom.
