About me

​I'm Tamina Nothhelfer, a BACP-accredited psychotherapist with specialised training in Duty of Care for TV and film productions by YAFTA. Therapeutically, I currently work with adults and young people, with particular expertise in eating disorders, anxiety and trauma. My services are available in English and German.​

​​​

My past work encompasses psychological risk assessments and counselling for young people, adults, couples and families. I currently support a diverse client group, spanning all ages, ethnicities and origins and have particular expertise working with individuals from mixed race, South-East Asian and European backgrounds, as well as those self-identifying as male. My current work additionally involves the supervision of experienced and new counsellors.

 

I am particularly skilled in working with individuals experiencing life changes and transitions, navigating public exposure and perception as well as relationship building, dating and family/group dynamics.

Experience and Background

​With extensive experience as a psychotherapist, I have developed my skills through counselling in diverse environments. My work with adults, including couples, spans the charity sector, NHS services, EAP (Employee Assistance Programs) and private work. Over time I have worked with a wide variety of presentations, including anxiety, stress and burnout, trauma - including complex trauma, relationship issues and eating disorders.

​

I have worked with young people and families in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), school settings and in private work. My work has focused on assisting young individuals dealing with anxiety and trauma by implementing evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, as well as creative therapies. This has included working collaboratively with families to design personalised treatment plans in a nurturing setting.

​

In my private practice, I concentrate on working with anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma. You can also consult me for specialist psychotherapy services in the realm of eating disorders.

​

 I have experience supporting a range of people in the public eye and supporting those with significant media exposure. My specialist Duty of Care training at YAFTA, encompasses work in reality TV, documentaries, true crime and scripted television/film.

My Approach

I work following an integrative modality, which essentially means I integrate multiple types of therapeutic styles. For those who are interested or have had therapy before, the core modalities I draw on in my practice include Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Therapies. I also have additional training in CBT and DBT, as well as trauma therapies.

​

With a strong emphasis on coping and management, I integrate coaching techniques to support you effectively on your journey toward healing and personal growth.
