Mrs Tami Cruse

Registered Counselor

“I’m Tami, an HPCSA-licensed counsellor with 4 years’ experience supporting adults (25–45) through challenges like anxiety, trauma, relationships, life transitions, and expat adjustment. Using Positive, Person-Centered, Psychodynamic, and ACT approaches, I offer a safe, affirming, and healing space.”

About Me

I offer a space to deeply explore your inner world. My approach leans on Self Psychology, enriched by my own therapy experiences. We integrate techniques like practical mindfulness practices to help you navigate challenges. This blend supports those seeking a profound self-understanding. You will also gain tangible ways to manage daily life. I aim to create a truly collaborative and empathetic environment for your personal growth.

Approach

You’ll find the work shifts between gentle curiosity about your inner experience and clear, manageable steps that support daily functioning. In my Berlin room or via online sessions in English, we move at a pace you set—attending to safety while noticing patterns in anxiety, shame, relationships, or burnout. Sessions blend empathic listening with short experiential exercises and practical mindfulness to steady overwhelm, and reflective exploration to surface unmet needs and relational templates. This way of working often suits adults navigating transitions, expat adjustment, or craving deeper self-understanding.
