About Tara

Tara Hale helps people facing relationship pain, grief, stress, anxiety and issues with addiction. She supports those coping with trauma, low self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting strain and compassion fatigue. Tara also addresses concerns like anger, career uncertainty, midlife questions and major life changes.

Her style aims to make people feel seen and heard from the first session. Tara has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP, which denotes registration with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists.

Background and approach

That registration means she works within the BACP code of ethics and practices within her professional competency. In sessions she pays attention to how the body and mind interact. Clients often talk about aches, restless nights or changes in behaviour that link back to stress.

Tara uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people notice those patterns and try different responses. Her approach draws on several therapies so sessions can be personalised. Some people prefer a goal-led focus to tackle a specific issue.

Others like a more open, exploratory style to understand long-standing patterns. Tara reviews progress with clients and changes the plan when needed. Tara offers both short and longer-term work, with short packages commonly set at 4, 6, 8 or 12 sessions.

Session times begin at 9am with a limited number of later appointments in the early evening. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Tara works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem and grief. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across time and relationships; it helps people understand how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviour. Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal-directed, working on small, practical steps to change specific problems such as sleep issues, stress or coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tara will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then shape sessions together. That collaborative process helps identify whether to focus on exploring deeper patterns, setting short-term goals, or a blend of both.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break, and avoid travel time. Some formats are better for focused, goal-led work while others suit longer exploratory conversations; the counsellor will discuss which is most helpful when you arrange sessions.
