About Kay

Kay Tarry is a counsellor who helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety and major life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what someone wants to change. Kay uses questions, gentle challenges and goal-setting to help people move forward.

She has worked in the field for 10 years and brings that practical experience to each session. Much of her focus has been supporting people after past abuse, neglect, bullying or other traumatic events.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns such as relationship strain, stress, anger and career pressures. Kay uses a pluralistic approach, which means each session is shaped around the person in front of her. Rather than a single method, she mixes different therapies to match individual needs and preferences.

Sessions may include talking things through, practising new ways to cope and setting small, achievable goals. The therapist draws on methods from Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy and cognitive behavioural ideas. These are used simply to help with day-to-day problems like anxiety, low mood and difficulty managing emotions.

People who choose Kay can expect practical, down-to-earth support and clear steps to try between sessions. She aims to help people feel less stuck, cope better and build a life that feels more manageable and meaningful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impacts of past trauma. It helps people reduce distressing memories and build safer ways to manage triggers and daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take values-led actions to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people form healthier ways of relating and regulating emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set practical objectives and try different techniques to see what helps most in real life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit short check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health limitations and to keep progress steady between sessions.
