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

Hi, I’m Tara,

You may know exactly what has brought you here, or not be quite sure at the moment. Maybe life feels harder than it used to, you're exhausted trying to please others, affected by past experiences, or finding life difficult to manage.

People come to counselling for many different reasons. 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 work offering counselling online and by phone. 

I provide a general counselling service, which is professional and confidential to work with you to support a range of issues, including.

Stress or anxiety.

Depression.

Stuck or overwhelmed.

Improving self-esteem.

Improving confidence.

Coping with the everyday challenges of caring for children with additional needs.

Burn out or feeling emotionally exhausted.

I offer a space to look at those times you may be feeling the pressure to match what others expect of you.

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. 

I provide a free 15 minute consultation by phone.

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.
