Tamsin Kelly

I offer face-to-face, online (via Zoom) or telephone appointments. My hours of work are Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm.

Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t know where to turn? Maybe you're struggling with everyday anxieties, having problems with relationships or at work, or you want to feel less stressed.

Perhaps you just need to be heard.

Reaching out for help can be daunting, but I provide a very supportive, calm and non-judgemental space in which you can explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences in more depth than usually happens in everyday life. By helping you to look more closely at what really matters to you, together we can work towards finding a way forward. 

What we cover in our sessions will be up to you – you are free to explore whatever is on your mind, and our sessions will go at your pace. 

I offer adults both short and long term weekly counselling sessions. Face to face sessions take place in Kingston Bagpuize, within easy reach of Oxford, Abingdon and Witney. I also offer online counselling, using Zoom, as well as telephone sessions.

I am a trained counsellor, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and I abide by their Ethical Framework. My core training is in Person Centred therapy but I also draw upon other approaches as needed, including CBT. 

My qualifications include:

- CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling Dip.Couns.
- ABC level 3 Certificate in Counselling Skills
- ABC Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills
- BACP Certificate of Proficiency

As well as the above, I have a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA), and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). My counselling training and experience, together with years of working as a teacher and in business, have given me the opportunity to work with and support people with a wide range of challenges and difficulties. I was also a volunteer with Cruse Bereavement Care for a number of years. I undergo regular training to keep my skills and knowledge up to date.

I offer a free 20 minute introductory telephone session to make sure that we will be happy to work together. This initial session is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have, and for me to explain a little more about how I work. At the end of the session, if you feel ready, I can book you in for further sessions at a time that is suitable for you.
