A little more about me
Experience, curiosity and compassion.
I'm Dr Tammy Oluyori, a Consultant Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years of experience across the NHS, community mental health services and private practice. My work focuses on helping adults understand emotional difficulties, the experiences and relationships that may have shaped them, and what might support meaningful change. You do not need to know exactly why you are struggling before we begin.
A space to understand your story
There is no requirement to arrive with a diagnosis or a perfectly formed explanation. We begin with your experience and develop a shared understanding of what is happening and why.
Safety before technique
Feeling heard, respected and supported matters. Therapy can include difficult experiences, but it should not require you to push past what feels manageable.
Grounded in psychological understanding
I draw on evidence-based approaches to suit your needs. We work collaboratively to understand patterns and make space for different choices, relationships and ways of being.
Compassion is at the centre of everything I do. Before any technique or framework, what matters most to me is that you feel genuinely safe, safe enough to be honest, to be uncertain, to go slowly if you need to.
I am trained in a number of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, which I draw on thoughtfully depending on what each individual needs: Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and other approaches as relevant to your needs.
I don't work from a rigid script. Instead, I bring my training, experience, and attentiveness together to offer something that is genuinely tailored to you.
Therapy is, at its core, a relationship.
I also believe that you are the expert on your own life. I don't arrive with a predetermined plan for who you should become. Instead, I work alongside you; helping you develop a clearer understanding of what's happening in the here and now, and tracing it back to its roots, so that real and lasting change becomes possible.
At the heart of my work is a simple conviction: greater connection with ourselves can give us access to wisdom, choice and resources that survival may once have made difficult to reach.
You are the master of your own life. My role is to help you hear what you already know.
Beyond the Therapy Room
Alongside my clinical work, I am passionate about making psychological knowledge accessible beyond individual therapy.
My work has grown into a wider role as a psychologist, trauma educator, speaker, trainer and consultant. I am also the founder of Expert Trauma Talks, an education platform created to make thoughtful, accessible trauma education available to wider audiences while bringing greater visibility to voices and perspectives that have historically been underrepresented.
You can explore this work further through Expert Trauma Talks, where I share expert-led trauma education, learning opportunities and conversations that reach beyond one-to-one therapy.
I host the Maturing Together podcast, speak and teach at public events including Seed Talks, and deliver training and consultancy to organisations. Across all these spaces, my work is connected by an interest in how experiences, relationships, unmet needs, trauma and adaptation shape our lives.
