Tamzin Brain, NCPS

Tamzin Brain is a UK-based hypno-counsellor who holds NCPS and brings more than a decade of experience in hypnotherapy and counselling. She is also an Approved AnxietyUK Therapist and a Mindfulness Coach, combining therapeutic listening with hypnotic techniques and mindfulness practices to support clients facing emotional and behavioural challenges.

Her work is rooted in a person-centred, intuitive approach, drawing on an eclectic mix of methods to meet each client where they are. Tamzin focuses on understanding experience from the client’s point of view, helping people make meaningful mindset shifts, remove blocks, and move toward the life they want to lead. Her aim is to help clients recognise their potential and build greater self-belief and resilience.

She offers empathy, openness, and a non-judgemental presence while cultivating a respectful and trusting therapeutic relationship. Tamzin provides support for depression, anxiety, stress, phobias, grief, sleep difficulties, parenting and career concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life changes through online hypnotherapy, counselling, and psychotherapy.

Tamzin also works with tools such as NLP and IMR to address self-sabotaging behaviours and inner conflict. Her specialist programmes include mindfulness and meditation, relaxation, smoking cessation, and weight management, and she offers Inner Child work and Past Life Regression for clients who seek those modalities. She sees individuals and groups and runs occasional transformational workshops and programmes.

One client reported, "The feeling of the weight being lifted off my shoulders after each session was noticeable to those around me, and my whole outlook and ability to cope with life has improved. I started out in a very bad place, and it was clear to see [on completing therapy] that I have come a long way".

Therapeutic approaches and the advantages of online sessions

Tamzin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT combines practical exercises and values-based work so people can take meaningful action even when emotions are challenging - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another strand of her practice, focusing on how early relationships shape patterns in adult life. This approach explores attachment, abandonment, and relationship dynamics to help people build more secure ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Client-Centered Therapy underpins her compassionate, person-focused stance. By offering empathic listening and supporting the client's own insights, this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving emotional expression, and navigating life transitions.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Tamzin will work with each client to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Tamzin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support around work, family, and mobility needs. These options provide flexibility and consistent access to therapeutic care, so clients can engage in meaningful work from locations that suit them.
