Naomi Tattum

I believe finding a relationship that is built on trust and respect will be the foundation of our work together, to support you to process whatever you are struggling with. I will create a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space, with the belief that you are the expert in your own life, to explore what it is like to be ‘you’ – even if you’re not sure what that means or feels like just now. I see my role to be alongside you, to understand your experiences as closely as I can and to support you to find a way forward.

I work from the modality of the Person-Centred Approach and I also offer somatic and embodied practices to support nervous system regulation and increase awareness of the body, if this is something you would also like to explore.

I embrace people from all different backgrounds, including those that consider themselves a minority. I am LGBTQAI+ affirmative and I have worked with people for whom English is a second language.

Qualifications:

For over 10 years I have worked in third sector organisations within communities, supporting people in groups and 1-1s from all different backgrounds, who are struggling with their mental health and wellbeing. Previous to this I worked in the arts.

• Postgrad Diploma in Person-Centred Counselling, Persona Training & Development
• Certificate in Counselling Skills, The Spark

I have experience in supporting clients with loss, bereavement, work-related issues, trauma, abuse (physical, emotional, sexual), domestic violence, migration, ADHD diagnosis, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, identity, relationships, self-esteem and family issues. I am particularly passionate about supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

I am available to work online, in person via telephone. I will shortly be working in-person in Glasgow.

I offer short-term and long-term counselling.
