Tamsin Embleton

Tamsin Embleton is a psychotherapist, writer and mental health consultant. She is also the founder of Music Industry Therapist Collective, which she set up in 2018 – responding to a lack of specialist services providing robust psychotherapeutic care to people with mental health problems in the music business.

She runs a private practice in London and specialises in working long-term with musicians and music industry professionals who wish to get to know themselves better, heal deeply held wounds, and live in a more rewarding, authentic and meaningful way.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, Tamsin worked for many years in the music industry as a venue, festival and event booker, grants advisor, artist manager and tour manager. She began to research the psychological impact of touring in 2016, which turned into her first publication, Touring and Mental Health: the Music Industry Manual.

Tamsin trained at the Bowlby Centre, Regent’s & Birkbeck universities, and has attended courses at the Anna Freud Centre (MBT), the Institute for Psychoanalysis & the Clinic for Dissociative Studies. She spent several years working with out patients at an NHS hospital and is a member of both the the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation and the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation.
