About Tammy
Tammy Payne offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She presents a calm, compassionate presence and encourages small steps towards feeling better. Tammy aims to make sessions feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Tammy trained in the United Kingdom and has seven years of professional experience, plus two years of training with charities including Mind and Kinergy.
Background and approach
Kinergy work specialised in therapy for survivors of sexual abuse. Her background includes helping people with panic, dissociation, codependency, eating and food-related issues, and chronic pain or illness. Her way of working centres on compassion and building self-compassion over time.
Sessions are shaped around what each person brings. Tammy watches for a client’s readiness to trust and open up, and she offers gentle challenge when it can help progress. In practical terms, Tammy focuses on creating space to talk through patterns in thinking and behaviour.
She helps people notice how attachments and relationships affect their choices and feelings. The goal is to support clearer thinking, more helpful habits, and increased confidence. People find the work steady and paced to their needs, with encouragement to try different ways of coping.
Tammy describes helping clients to feel more empowered and better able to make the changes they want in life.

How Tammy works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tammy will work collaboratively to identify which ideas fit each person's needs, goals and preferences. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the balance between gentle support and timely challenge together with the client.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means someone can join from wherever they are living in the United Kingdom without the need to travel, which can help keep therapy consistent over time.
