About Tara
Tara Hale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief and sleep difficulties. She also helps with issues such as addiction, self-esteem, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, anger and life changes. Tara presents herself plainly and aims to make therapy approachable for anyone feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day pressures.
Her style blends listening with practical steps. Sessions begin with a focus on what matters most to the client and may shift between talking, reflecting and short goal-focused work. Tara pays attention to the link between the mind and the body, and how stress can show up as aches, poor sleep or changes in behaviour.
She offers both short-term packages and longer-term counselling, with short courses of 4, 6, 8 or 12 sessions available. Session times start from 9am with some evening slots, and progress is reviewed so changes can be made if needed. Scheduling details are discussed before therapy begins.
Tara holds BACP, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists registration, and brings seven years of professional experience to her practice. She works from a range of therapeutic approaches so the sessions can be shaped to the person rather than forcing a single model.
People who come to Tara often want simple, honest conversation alongside practical ways to cope. She aims to create a space where clients feel seen, heard and accepted while they work through difficult feelings and make changes that matter to them.
How these approaches translate to online work
Tara uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas in her work, both of which adapt well to talking through issues online. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience, helping people feel heard and make sense of their feelings. Psychodynamic therapy looks at patterns from past experiences and relationships to understand present difficulties and recurring reactions.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Tara will talk with each person about what they want to achieve, what has helped or not helped before, and which style feels most comfortable. Changes can be made as therapy progresses so the approach fits real needs and goals.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions from a convenient location. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when that suits a week’s schedule. Exact session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
