Naomi Tattum

I believe finding a relationship that is built on trust and respect will be the foundation of our work together, to be able support the processing of past and present experiences. Some of these experiences may be very painful, overwhelming, unknowable or anything in between. Whatever your experience, it is welcome.

I work from the modality of the Person-Centred Approach and I also offer somatic and embodied practices to support nervous system regulation and increase awareness of the body, if this is something you would also like to explore.

I hope to provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, with the belief that you are the expert in your own life, to explore what it is like to be ‘you’ – even if you’re not sure what that means or feels like just now. I see my role to be alongside you, to understand your experiences as closely as I can and to support you to find a way forward.
