About Tara
Tara Hale helps people facing relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety and addiction. She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, sleeping problems, low self-esteem and life changes. Tara is named up front to make it easy to know who you would meet.
Tara works in a straightforward, human way. Sessions are a chance to talk about what feels hard and to notice how thoughts and the body interact.
Background and approach
She pays attention to patterns from past experiences that keep causing pain. Practical steps and short-term goals are used when they suit the person. She has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists - BACP.
That means she follows the association's ethical code and practices within her competency. Tara draws on a mix of approaches, including person-centred ideas, psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused work. This means she will listen closely, explore underlying patterns, and help set small achievable goals when helpful.
Sessions can be planned as a short course of 4 to 12 meetings or as longer work if that is needed. Start times typically begin at 9am with some later appointments in the early evening. She checks in periodically to see how therapy is progressing and will adapt the plan when appropriate.
Tara aims to make sessions a place where people feel seen and heard, and where they can begin to try different ways of coping and relating to others.

Approach-based online counselling that fits your life
Tara uses person-centred and solution-focused ways of working to guide online sessions. Person-centred work means she listens without judgement and follows what matters most to you; this approach helps when someone needs a supportive, steady space to talk. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to reduce stress or tackle a specific problem quickly. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara will work with you to decide which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as you progress, so therapy remains relevant and practical. Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to give more flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when possible. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or commute. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to attend from different locations and to pick the format that fits your routine.Frequently asked
