These include: breaking bad news; end of life (also in Theatre Forum format); anger management; dealing with challenging behaviour; bereavement and depression; alcoholism; panic attacks; staff management issues

Personal Skills and Experience
A successful actress and voiceover artist for over 20 years, Tamara has enjoyed leading roles on stage, television and radio throughout the course of her career. Television highlights include 14 years as regular character Joanna Ross-Gifford in the long running Scottish soap opera HIGH ROAD and 2 years as forensics expert Sheila Crombie in TAGGART as well as appearances in RAB C NESBITT, MONARCH OF THE GLEN and many other primetime shows.
Alongside her acting career, Tamara has developed a reputation as a respected voiceover artist and presenter. She also works regularly as a live TV announcer for BBC Scotland.
In the late 1990s Tamara completed a PGCE in Primary Education, qualifying with distinction, and her diverse experiences in teaching, theatre-in-education and as an actor have given her invaluable insight and empathy – qualities which inform the roleplay work she now undertakes.
