About Tara
Tara Hale is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, parenting strain, sleeping problems and anger. Tara also supports people dealing with shame, guilt, abandonment and self-esteem issues.
She pays attention to how the body and mind interact. Tara notices how stress can show up as aches, poor sleep or changes in behaviour. In sessions she helps people untangle those links and reduce the patterns that keep stress repeating.
Tara uses an integrative approach, drawing on Client-Centred, Psychodynamic, Existential and Solution-Focused ideas. That means sessions can be exploratory or goal-focused depending on what the person needs and prefers. She can offer short-term work of 4, 6, 8 or 12 sessions, or longer-term counselling if that is helpful.
Sessions normally start from 9am with some later times available in the evening. She works within the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists code of ethics and practices within her professional competency. Practical review points are built into the work to check progress and make changes if needed.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session. The subscription model for sessions can be cancelled at any time and costs vary with location.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred work focuses on listening and supporting your perspective. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on building understanding and reflecting what matters most to you, which can help with issues like anger, low self-esteem and relationship strain.Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat over time and where they may have started. In an online setting this can help if you want to understand recurring reactions such as chronic resentment or difficulties with trust and attachment.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Tara will work collaboratively to decide whether a more exploratory psychodynamic route or a goal-focused solution approach suits your needs. She checks in and adjusts how you work together based on your goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life - for example a shorter check-in can be squeezed into a lunch break, or a session without video can reduce bandwidth needs. Registered or accredited professionals often find online appointments help maintain continuity of care while people manage work, parenting or travel commitments.
