Tara is amazing, she is so polite, kind and considerate, she has always managed to make me feel better after a session even if it's just a little bit. It's a delight to have someone like her who I can talk to about my problems. I would definitely recommend her to others who need help

Hello and welcome, my name is Tara, a qualified therapist in the UK with 3 years of experience. If you're here then you may be going through something difficult - but know that you don't need to go through it alone.
Sometimes, our issues can feel too heavy to manage on our own, but getting the support of a warm and empathetic professional can allow us to grow, and move forward in ways that aren't as achievable by ourselves. Whether you need space to vent, tools to cope, or an outside perspective that can help you see change, I am here to help.
I have a history of effectively working with various issues including depression, anxiety, relationship problems (couples and families), ADHD, low self-esteem, anger, bereavement, trauma, and more. Regardless of what you're going through, I believe that you and your situation are unique. Because of that, it's important that you're treated as an individual.
I have specialised in inclusive, modern, advanced counselling theories so that we can effectively get you from where you are, to where you want to be - in a way that suits you. Therapy with me means you're in the driver's seat, whilst I sit by your side and give you the best tools and support for getting to where you want to be.
I strive to provide a trusting, safe relationship, as well as warmth, care, validation, coping strategies, empowerment, and a non-judgmental space in which you can learn to thrive instead of survive. In short, I aim to help you to become the best, healthiest version of you.

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.
