Tammy Lewis, BACP

Tammy Lewis welcomes adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or changes in their relationships. She introduces a calm, steady presence and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Tammy uses simple language and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and manageable.

She describes herself as an integrative counsellor and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Tammy believes clients know their lives best and works to draw out existing strengths. Sessions can be a space to talk through one problem or to unpick patterns that keep returning.

In appointments she may offer information, suggest activities to try between meetings, and set gentle tasks to build new habits. She will not tell clients what to think or do, but supports people to make choices that fit their values. The work tends to be collaborative and paced to what the client needs.

Tammy uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to shape the work. These methods guide how she listens and how she helps clients spot thoughts, feelings and past experiences that affect day-to-day life.

Sessions are arranged weekly where possible and are planned to fit around a stable day and time. Tammy offers sessions via online video and phone through her current working arrangements, and she works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom.

How Tammy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions. In this style the therapist reflects what’s said and helps the client feel heard, which can help with confidence and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often suits stress, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tammy will discuss goals and preferences with the client and suggest which methods to use. The plan is built together so the therapy fits the person’s needs rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce time spent travelling, and allow check-ins from home or during a lunch break. Video sessions let the therapist and client use facial cues, while phone sessions can be useful when a shorter check-in is needed or when bandwidth is limited. Confirm the exact session options before booking so arrangements match daily life and commitments.
