Hi, I’m Tami!

I’m a South African currently based in Berlin, bringing a blend of cross-cultural insights to my work. I’m licensed with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and have been in private practice (both online and in-person) for over four years. I run both my South African practice as well as a practice based in Berlin, where I’ve been working as a Psychological Counsellor (Psychologischer Berater), supporting English-speaking humans from diverse backgrounds in navigating life’s transitions and emotional challenges.

In my practice, I work primarily with adults (ages 25–45) who are seeking to feel more grounded, connected, and settled in their daily lives. Many of my clients come to me for support with emotional regulation, complex family or relationship dynamics, marital challenges, identity exploration, expat/immigrant adjustment, and personal growth (See “Psychological Counselling” tab for more information on the types of topics I typically work with). I offer a calm, compassionate, and holistic space where you can feel seen, supported, and safe to explore whatever you’re facing. I also proudly provide an affirming and inclusive environment for the LGBTQIA+ community.

My therapeutic approach is flexible and collaborative. At the heart of my work lies Positive Psychology, focusing on helping clients rediscover their strengths, foster resilience, and reconnect with their authentic selves. I also integrate some elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to guide clients in understanding and harmonising their inner world, cultivating self-compassion, balance, and lasting emotional growth.

While the space can often feel serious, I believe it can also be light, human (not clinical), and humour-filled. My biggest strength is my ability to bring compassionate-challenging into my sessions because mental health support doesn’t always have to feel confronting, it can also feel gentle and kind. My goal is to help you feel lighter, more empowered, and more aligned with yourself.
