Tamara Bell
Counsellor

Hi, welcome,

I support people who are struggling with a range of life challenges. This may be a situational issue or more ongoing challenges in life where you have notice repeated patterns. This could be struggling with mental health, emotional overwhelm, stress, relational issues, life transition, loss, work or study pressure, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, feeling disconnected, identity questions, issues with boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing and/or childhood trauma.

I provide a compassionate and authentic space to explore what has brought you here today. Whether you are looking for short term counselling or wanting to delve into your experiences in more depth, therapy can support you to develop insight, awareness and bring about change.

At a foundation level, I work from a humanistic, trauma-informed, and relational framework. I am an integrative therapist that draws on a range of modalities and approaches. I describe my therapeutic style as collaborative, curious and genuine, whilst utilising trauma-informed principles, with a narrative, attachment-based lens.

I have worked in the human services space for over a decade in diverse roles and have supported hundreds of people in private practice. In conjunction with my professional experience, my own personal life journey of healing has only enriched my practice as a therapist.

I see the counselling space as an opportunity to unpack your unique lived experiences, hold space to process, develop deeper awareness whilst learning skills, tools, and strategies.

It can take courage to consider reaching out for support, particularly if it is the first time. It is not uncommon to feel apprehensive about engaging in therapy even though it can be very beneficial in many ways.

Just showing up, and maybe even with a little willingness to be vulnerable, is progress.
