I offer remote (video and telephone) appointments. I also offer evening and weekend appointments.

Hi, I’m Tara,

People come to counselling for many different reasons. You may know exactly what has brought you here, or not be sure what you need but have a sense that support could help. Maybe life feels harder than it used to, you're feeling unable to be yourself, affected by past experiences, or finding life difficult to manage.

As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I work alongside you, offering a space where I aim to understand what you're going through and listen to what matters to you at your pace. Rather than offering advice, I respect that you are the expert in your own life and experiences, and we can work together to make sense of what is happening for you.

My background in Speech, Language and Communication has helped to shape my understanding of communication, and how everyone has their own way of expressing themselves and experiencing the world.

I know it may be hard to start counselling, and maybe you don’t know what to expect? You are not alone. Send me an email, text message or give me a call and we can discuss what you would like to get from counselling, and any concerns you may have starting. 

I run a private practice, offering counselling online and by phone. 

I provide a professional, confidential space to work with you to support a range of difficulties, including:

Stress or anxiety.

Depression.

Stuck or overwhelmed.

Burn out or feeling emotionally exhausted.

Have spent a long time adapting to fit in or feeling unable to be yourself.

You may be wanting to feel more comfortable and accepting of yourself.

Are navigating life transitions, including menopause and peri-menopause.

Please note, I aim to respond to any messages with 24 hours.

I am a fully qualified and insured counsellor. 

It's not my job tell you what to do, however it is my job to ensure you feel comfortable enough to talk to me, and we will explore what’s happening at a pace that feels manageable for you.

The first session is an opportunity for us to explore what has brought you to counselling, and to see if working together feels right, as it's important that you find the therapist that is the best fit for you.

It may feel overwhelming, however it's ok to ask questions, and I aim to ensure you feel empowered in our work together.
