Therapeutic Approach 

A little about me 

I’m Tammy Lewis, and I absolutely love what I do. I’m passionate about people and feel genuinely honoured to work alongside people like you as you take your own personal journey through counselling. I get to witness the things you bring into the room — your experiences, thoughts, emotions, struggles, relationships, humour, tears, hopes and everything in between.

My aim is to provide a warm, safe, non-judgemental and empathetic environment where you can feel truly seen and heard. A space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace, without feeling that you have to have everything figured out before you arrive.

The therapeutic relationship

The therapeutic relationship can feel very different from other relationships in our lives, and sometimes it is something you have to experience to understand. Counselling can mean sharing parts of yourself that you may not usually share with others — your pain, your tears, your humour, your childhood, your relationships, your family dynamics, your work, your values, your personality, your struggles and the things you may find difficult to talk about.

How often do we have a space where we can simply be ourselves — all of ourselves?

A space where we aren't judged, criticised or told what we should or shouldn't do. Instead, counselling can offer an opportunity to explore who you are, what you need and what matters to you, while developing greater understanding and self-awareness.

I’m deeply committed to supporting others and believe that counselling is more than just talking. It is a collaborative space built on trust, connection and understanding, where we can work together at a pace that feels right for you.

A little more about me personally...

Beyond my work, I love spending time with my family and friends. I have a deep appreciation for art in all its forms and am making a conscious effort to be more creative.

I also want to share a little more about me personally. I am dyslexic and have experienced post-COVID syndrome (Long COVID). These are both experiences that have shaped parts of my own journey and given me a deeper appreciation of how differently life experiences can affect us.

I don't believe we need to have experienced exactly the same things as another person to be able to listen, understand and sit alongside them. Everyone's experiences are unique, and I value bringing openness, curiosity and compassion to the people I work with.
