Introducing Online Counselling with Tami, South African Psychological Counsellor in Berlin and HPCSA Registered Counsellor

Welcome kind humans,

I'm Tami. 

I am a South African HPCSA Registered Counsellor based in Berlin, Germany. I work with clients on a short-term basis (4-12 sessions) to achieve their personalised mental-health goals. I do offer longer-term therapy for clients wanting to remain in the therapeutic space on a more ad-hoc basis. In order to achieve the best results, I suggest clients do sessions as close as possible to each other to order to feel the impact of the therapeutic work we will be doing. Most of my clients see me once a week or twice a month for the first 2-3 months and then taper off into the maintenance phase of therapy (ad-hoc). 

​My approach to therapy leans largely on Self Psychology, and is coupled with my own experiences​ from therapy. I draw techniques from Psychodynamic Psychology, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Relational Life Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Psychology.  ​I play an active role in the therapeutic space and offer an emotional and sometimes practical approach for clients looking to unpack and process their lives.

 My belief is that the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is the most important part of therapy, which means that it is important for me to show up authentically in the space. I do this by being honest about the fact that I don't have all of life's answers and don't claim to. I encourage clients to find their own answers in a safe non-judgemental space.

​In whichever therapeutic space you find yourself in, I hope you heal from the things no one apologised for.

“No therapy journey is "easy" but mine has certainly been made easier with Tami as my guide! Her calm and empathetic spirit shines through with every interaction and question. You can sense she is dedicated to ongoing learning herself and continually finding ways to help her clients. I would highly recommend her services if you're ready to deepen your self awareness and unlock parts of yourself that you didn't even know needed unlocking!”
