About Tammy
Tammy Payne is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She brings a calm, compassionate presence and focuses on building trust so people feel able to speak honestly about what matters to them. Tammy aims to support people who want clearer ways to live and relate to others.
Tammy trained in the United Kingdom and has seven years of professional work experience, plus two years of training with organisations and charities.
Background and approach
She has worked with people affected by sexual abuse and by a range of trauma-related issues. This background shapes how she listens and responds to distress. Her work centres on developing self-compassion and understanding patterns of thought and behaviour.
Sessions are collaborative - clients bring their concerns and Tammy helps them notice unhelpful habits, try new ways of coping and practise small changes between meetings. Tammy is patient about how quickly people open up and stays ready to gently challenge when that will help progress. She pays attention to attachment and how past relationships influence present struggles.
The aim is to help people feel more able to make choices that suit their life. Practical problems such as chronic pain, eating difficulties, panic attacks, dissociation and codependency are also within Tammy’s focus. She supports people facing isolation, forgiveness work, self-harm thoughts and issues around self-love and sexual assault recovery.

Approaches Tammy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working together. That process is collaborative - the therapist and client check what helps and adjust the approach as sessions progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility challenges while working with registered or accredited professionals.
