Tami Addlestone

What Qualifies Me?

I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over 10 years of clinical experience. For the past three years, I have also been a qualified supervisor, supporting fellow practitioners in their professional development. Alongside my therapeutic work, I have spent the last four years managing a team of 10 mental health advisers within the Mental Health, Counselling, and Disability Service at a London University. I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in working with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, from acute life crises to the long-term impact of complex life experiences. I am an ADHD and divorce coach helping people live their life effectively. 

Taking the first step to reach out is significant, and once you do, we鈥檒l arrange an initial call to schedule your first in-person or online assessment. This session is a chance to explore how we can work together, set goals, and begin a plan to support your wellbeing.

Therapy is a collaborative journey where open and honest communication is key. It can be challenging, but it鈥檚 through this process that clients often gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their lives. This understanding starts in the therapy room and extends into everyday life.

As a humanistic integrative therapist, I offer a personalised, holistic approach drawing on person-centred, gestalt, and existential therapies. I focus on critical thinking, not to critique, but to help you interpret your inner world and uncover what you need to feel proud, at ease, and fulfilled. Together, we work to create lasting, meaningful change in a compassionate, non-judgmental space.

Testimonials

Layla, 27

鈥淚 came to Tami having dealt with ADHD my whole life with many attempts at a diagnosis. ADHD coaching with Tami has changed my world. I have let go of anger and resentment and know how to live my life alongside my ADHD which I never thought was possible. I am happy and relaxed for the first time in my life."

Ted, 58

鈥淚鈥檝e been an addict for 15 years having drunk and done drugs for a long time. Going to therapy has helped me understand why I turn to drugs and alcohol and I鈥檓 so proud to have now been clean for 8 months thanks to Tami鈥檚 care and non-judgmental therapy sessions. I feel more like myself than I have in years.鈥�

Conor, 15

"I went to see Tami when I was stressed in school and in my home life. I didn't know what was wrong, but she's helped me to see what it is, and explained and taught me how to cope much better. School is much better, and I am happier with friends and family."

Arabelle, 19

"Tami has changed the way I view almost everything in my life after years of feeling low and unworthy. Tami has genuinely changed my life and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help."

Anne, 46

"I was recommended Tami by a friend when I needed to find a personal therapist alongside couples counselling. It was the best decision I could have made. My marriage has never been better and I finally know who I am after being lost as a mother and a wife. An exceptional experience. Highly recommend!"

Alan, 51

"Grief is an ongoing cycle of doom, until I found Tami who offered a safe space to feel able to express the darker side of what I found after losing my child in horrific circumstances. Thank you, Tami. I am finally living my life, not just surviving."

S and G

"Tami helped us repair our marriage when we assumed there would be no hope. She was able to show us how to listen to each other and make significant changes and allow us to have a happy relationship. We are so grateful for Tami's patience and kindness."

I offer a free initial assessment via phone or online. 

I offer a variety of prices depending on what is affordable for the client. 

I am well versed in many areas across the board and offer various times throughout the week, with a flexible approach in order to offer the best way of working for each individual or couple that comes to my practice.

There are no silly questions, and I am open to discussing anything you may be afraid of.

Testimonials 

Gene, 31

"Tami's wealth of knowledge and experience has helped me grow into my practice, allowing me to see other perspectives and strengthen the relationship with myself and my clients."

Andie, 44

"I was looking for a more relational working relationship having had a bad experience with a previous supervisor. It was the best decision I made and feel I have grown a lot within my work. She is not judgemental which allowed me to speak freely and think beyond what I knew before. Thank you, Tami!"

Ella, 28

"As a trainee, seeing clients for the first time was anxiety provoking for me, but Tami allowed me to feel at ease and helped me to see my blind spots as well as highlighting my strengths. I wouldn't have got through my placements without her."

Jane, 37

"I was struggling with my workplace and unable to see why things weren't improving. Tami helped me to see where my work was falling short and honed in on my capabilities. I have never been so praised at work and I'm even going for a promotion which I didn't think was possible!"

Ana, 32

"Working with ADHD was a big hurdle for me. Tami has a lot of knowledge around how to work with ADHD in clients and it completely changed the way I work, allowing me to work much better with my ADHD clients and their families. I am so grateful for this turning point in my practice."

I offer a 30 minute free initial assessment via phone or online to gage whether we would work well together.
