About Tara
Her approach draws on several therapies to match each person’s needs. Sessions can be short term - commonly 4, 6, 8 or 12 meetings - or longer if that suits the work. Start times begin at 9am with some later appointments available in the evening; clients can discuss scheduling before sessions start.
Tara explains how the body and mind interact and pays attention to how stress can show up as sleeplessness, aches or changes in behaviour. In the room she aims to help people identify patterns, try small changes and notice how that affects daily life. She is prepared to use goal‑oriented work when a structured plan helps.
She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, often shortened to BACP, and works within their code of ethics. That guides how she stays within her professional competency and practice boundaries.
People who choose Tara can expect a conversational, practical style that balances listening with gentle challenge. She reviews progress during therapy and will discuss extending sessions when needed.

How these therapeutic approaches work online
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on giving people space to speak and be heard without judgement, helping them build self‑understanding and decide what changes they want to make. It is useful for issues like low self‑esteem, relationship pain and anger that stems from feeling misunderstood.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and past experiences that shape current feelings and behaviour. It can help when recurring themes such as abandonment, attachment issues or repeated relationship difficulties keep showing up.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara will discuss different ways of working and will help the client and counsellor agree what fits their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative exploration can start with practical aims and shift into deeper work if needed.
If you are considering online sessions, check what formats are currently offered before booking. The service uses a subscription model and scheduling is arranged through the matching process. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in sessions, and avoid travel time so people can use a break at work or a quieter slot at home. Confirm the exact session options when you arrange your first appointment.
