Tammy Lewis , BACP

Tammy Lewis is a qualified integrative counsellor based in Liverpool, England, and a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With three years of professional experience, she works with adults facing stress and anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship and family concerns, the effects of childhood experiences, and challenges around building self-esteem and confidence.

Tammy approaches therapy from a collaborative standpoint, believing that each person is the expert in their own life and already has strengths to draw on. She supports clients to take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life, acknowledging that seeking change takes courage and that the therapeutic relationship can help empower that process.

Sessions may focus on specific problems or take a broader look at how someone is feeling. Tammy may offer information, practical suggestions, and tasks between sessions to reinforce progress, while avoiding directing clients on what they should think or do. She offers online video and phone sessions, typically arranged on a weekly basis and ideally kept to the same day and time to build continuity. Tammy aims to be as flexible as possible with available communication methods on the therapy service and works with clients to find what suits them best.

Her practice emphasizes support, practical tools, and personal growth as people navigate life challenges and relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Work

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathic listening and acceptance so individuals can explore their feelings and make choices that feel right for them. This approach can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, mood concerns, and social anxiety, and typically involves collaborative exercises and between-session tasks.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current emotions and relationships, offering insight into repetitive difficulties such as attachment or abandonment concerns. It can support people seeking deeper understanding of long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy works with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adapt methods so the work feels useful and achievable.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people juggling work, family, or geographical limitations. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, try different formats, and access consistent support from a therapist without requiring travel.
