Tammy Lewis, BACP

Tammy Lewis is an integrative counsellor based in Liverpool, England who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and challenges around self-esteem. She works collaboratively with clients to explore how past experiences, current relationships and everyday pressures affect wellbeing, helping people identify strengths and practical steps toward greater balance and fulfilment.

Tammy believes the person seeking support is the expert on their own life, and she offers a compassionate, non-prescriptive environment where clients can talk through specific problems or have broader conversations about how they are feeling. She may suggest information, coping strategies and occasional homework to support change, but she will not tell clients what they should think or do.

Sessions are offered online by video or phone and are normally scheduled on a weekly basis, ideally at the same day and time to build continuity. Tammy holds BACP membership - the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom - and integrates approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic understanding to tailor therapy to each person’s needs.

She aims to be flexible about how clients communicate and to work together to find the format and pace that best supports their therapeutic goals.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Tammy commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioural therapy to shape her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s perspective guides the work - it helps with building self-esteem, exploring relationship dynamics and finding personal direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and testing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, and it is useful for managing stress, anxiety and low mood by developing practical coping skills and new ways of responding.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tammy works with each person to understand their goals, preferences and life context, and together they decide which methods or combination of approaches feel most helpful. This flexibility allows the therapy to adapt as the client’s priorities shift over time.

Online therapy with Tammy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. These formats increase accessibility and allow registered professionals and therapists to maintain regular contact, helping clients make steady progress from a setting that suits them.
