Her work includes helping people manage seasonal affective disorder, self-harm risk, and financial or money-related stress that affects relationships. She aims to help clients set clear steps and practice them between sessions so progress can show up in daily life.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Many of the approaches Tami uses focus on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and avoidance active. Cognitive-style techniques look at patterns of thinking and help people test unhelpful beliefs in real situations; this can help with panic, social anxiety, and fear of being judged. Exposure-based strategies introduce small, manageable steps toward feared situations so people can learn new responses and reduce avoidance over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tami will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options, discusses likely steps, and adjusts the plan as progress or challenges show up.
Details about which session formats are offered should be confirmed before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during stressful periods. If someone prefers shorter or more frequent contacts, or needs a session that does not use video, those preferences can be discussed when arranging appointments.
