Tara is such a kind, caring and understanding person. I feel I can talk about anything and she would never judge me, not just because she’s a therapist but because she genuinely isn’t a judgemental person. I feel like she really wants to help and she does help me. She is very good at making me reflect and think about myself and my mind. She often catches the way I word things and puts them back to me in a way that makes me reframe my thoughts. I really feel like she’s helped me to be a better, stronger person, but she would only ever credit me for that. I honestly am so glad that I started therapy with Tara, I don’t know what I’d do without our sessions. Honestly couldn’t recommend her more!

Let’s face it - life can be tough! Do you feel low/depressed, anxious, or perhaps lacking in self-esteem and confidence? Or maybe you are just feeling generally overwhelmed? Having a space where you can truly be yourself without fear of judgement can be a life changing experience.
I am a dedicated and compassionate counsellor, committed to providing a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and concerns and where you can feel heard, no matter what you may bring to session.
I believe in building a genuine therapeutic relationship based on trust, empathy, and respect. As an integrative counsellor I can tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, by using a range of approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and I regularly participate in professional development to enhance my skills and knowledge.
If you're ready to take the next step towards positive change, please reach out for a confidential chat. If you can't find a suitable time slot within my calendar, please still contact me as I do have flexibility with my availablity.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
