Tamsin Embleton

I have 1 slot available to be held on a Wednesday or Thursday afternoon.

I am an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist, mental health consultant and writer.

Who do I work with?

I specialise in working with people who work in creative fields and people who are in the public eye. A lot of my work is with musicians, writers, film directors, fashion designers, creative directors, producers, and people who are in high pressure positions.

How do I work?

My work is informed by attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapy with a splash of existential theory. This means that in therapy we would explore you how relate to yourself and other people, the impact of formative relationships and how you make meaning from the world and your experiences. I am also trauma-informed, meaning I have undergone trauma trainings and have worked extensively with people who have trauma-related difficulties.

Other experience

I am the founder of the Music Industry Therapist Collective and the editor of Touring and Mental Health: the Music Industry Manual.

I work from an office in my home, in Haringey. I also work for 2 days a week in Mayfair, and occasionally can accommodate fly-ins (POA).

Working with a psychotherapist

People come to therapy for myriad reasons – often they feel lost, stuck, anxious, depressed, or wish to understand themselves, improve their relationships or cope better in day-to-day life.

Giving voice to your experiences, and having a witness in therapy, can be a healing and life-affirming experience but it's much more than simply offloading to an empathic listening ear. We aim to reach what lies beneath the narrative, to your unconscious. By examining unconscious motivations and the legacy of past pains, we aim to deepen your understanding of yourself and how you move through the world.

Some of the issues that my clients face include:

• relationship, attachment and interpersonal issues
• depression, anxiety and stress
• grief, loss and bereavement
• trauma, neglect, physical, sexual and mental abuse
• identity, meaning and purpose
• phobias
• gender dysphoria
• sexual expression
• anger and emotional difficulties
• receiving a clinical diagnosis

I have 1 full fee slot available.

I am an experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist, mental health consultant and writer based in Mayfair. 

I specialise in working with creatives and those in the public eye, having worked for many years in the music business prior to retraining. A lot of my work is with musicians, writers, film directors, fashion designers, creative directors, producers, and people who are in high pressure positions such as CEOs, A&Rs and record label managers. 

My work is informed by attachment theory, with a splash of existential theory thrown in for good measure. This means that we would explore you how relate to yourself and other people, the impact of formative relationships and how you make meaning from the world and your experiences.

 I am also trauma-informed, meaning I have undergone trauma trainings and have worked extensively with people who have trauma-related difficulties.

Outside of providing 1:1 therapy, I run an organisation called the Music Industry Therapist Collective and the editor of a book called Touring and Mental Health: the Music Industry Manual.

We aim to reach what lies beneath the narrative, to your unconscious.

The initial consultation is an opportunity to explore what brings you to therapy and whether we would work well together.  

We'll talk about what it is that you would like help with and take a brief overview of your personal history - significant relationships and life events that have shaped who you are and how you move through the world.
