About Tamsin
I am a Jungian depth coach based in the green hills of Gippsland, just out of Melbourne, Australia.
Before moving into this work, I spent fifteen years as an advertising and social sector qualitative researcher.
In my thirties, I moved to a hundred-acre farm and opened a tiny restaurant centred around a century-old table. This project grew from a simple question.
“What conversations become possible when twelve strangers join you for Sunday lunch each week?”
These lunches took on a life of their own and were regularly booked out a year in advance.
I also launched a collaborative retail space in Korumburra, wrote monthly columns for Country Style magazine and appeared regularly on ABC radio.
A series of profound losses and the need to rebuild life from the ground up was the catalyst for my move into coaching.
The coaching program that I have developed is the work I wish I had been able to do at the time I most needed it. It is work which has gifted me with greater internal steadiness, trust in my own perception, and a renewed sense of lightness.
And it is the work I now bring to this practice.
I live with my partner Rod, two old dogs and a vegetable garden that has its own ideas.
Tamsin Carvan is a Jungian coach. Her work is grounded in an original framework, informed by Jungian thought and depth psychology, and shaped by her own lived experience. In 2021 she was the winner of the national Shine Award, celebrating the achievements, passion, resilience and dedication of women living and working in rural and regional Australia.
“I came to this intensive program at a time when I knew I was about to face a period of challenges in my life that I wanted to be well-prepared for.
Working with Tamsin has been such a rewarding experience for me. Her kind, thoughtful engagement and perceptive questions have guided me to some actually quite profound insights about why I behave the way I do, and made me feel comfortable to open myself up to taking different paths.
Yes, I now feel better equipped to deal with the challenges which lie ahead, but I also feel like I have truly gotten to know myself at the age of 46 - what a gift!”
