Tamsin Palmer

I work during the day 9.30-6.00

I am now working face to face and online.

Both these options of therapy are £50-£60 per session.

However, I can offer this at a lower fee for concessionary rates.

I am an experienced qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist.

I have been practising privately for 22 years with adults from 18 to 80 years old. 

In the past I have experience working

Privately - 

I have worked with people who have self referred and who want to work on issues which are causing them pain and anxiety - either caused by recent events or aspects of their lives which have been difficult for them for a long time.  

Early experience of poor care and difficult family relationships are very likely to affect our sense of self and our emotional well being in later life.

I have also  in a GP Surgery - people coming with all sorts of issues which are affecting their well-being.

I have also  in Student Counselling Services - Working with students who have personal problems to deal with while they study.

Before training as a Psychotherapist I was a full-time University Lecturer in English Literature at Dublin University.

As a student I obtained a first class degree in French and English Literature  in Dublin and a post graduate degree on the novels of George Eliot from Cambridge University.

My interest in character and emotions in fiction let led me to train as a psychotherapist and counsellor in order to work with people experiencing difficulties in their lives.

Wherever I work I aim to establish a relaxed, informal and friendly relationship quickly so that we can begin to look at what may be difficult and painful issues easily with a feeling of safety, respect and confidence. We then consider what might help you in our sessions together.

I offer short term work - up to 12 sessions 

Longer if the issues require more time.

This can be discussed when we meet.

I offer short term- counselling 6-12 sessions (more if necessary)

and also supervision for trainees.

In the first session we will look at what brings you and have a good discussIon about all the issues involved.

We will then consider what might help you in our work together and discuss the practical arrangements which might suit you best.

out of office july 3-10

I listen and discuss your case and offer any comments i think might be helpful .

I have been practicing for the past 20 years

I work with adults with whatever issue they want to discuss.

I have developed the way I work so that although I trained as a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapist I now work in a much more open way using all my experience and development creatively to help each individual as much as I can.

In supervision I listen to the case the counsellor or therapist brings and then we start discussing the case in detail focusing on the issues the therapist wishes to discus.
