About Tara
Tara Hale is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with relationship problems, grief, stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing low self-esteem, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and big life changes. Tara works in a calm, straightforward way so conversations feel manageable even when topics feel heavy.
She draws on seven years of practice and uses flexible ways of working to meet different needs.
Background and approach
Some people prefer a few focused sessions, and others choose longer-term work. Tara explains options clearly and reviews progress together so adjustments can be made if needed. Tara pays close attention to how stress affects both body and mind.
She notices patterns like poor sleep, tension and changes in behaviour, and helps people look at practical steps to ease those symptoms. Sessions often cover everyday routines alongside feelings and relationships. Her approach is person-centred and relational, and she also brings ideas from psychodynamic and solution-focused work.
That means clients can explore past patterns, clarify goals, or try small, practical changes between sessions. The style is collaborative and paced to suit each person. Tara is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP, and works within their code of ethics.
Sessions are offered in English and available online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says so they feel understood. It helps when someone needs space to talk through emotions, relationships or identity questions without being judged. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and life events. It can help bring hidden themes into view so people understand why they react in certain ways and can try different choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tara collaborates with each person to decide whether short, goal-focused sessions or a longer, explorative route fits best. She will check in about how methods are working and change course if a different way seems more useful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy or unpredictable lives. Video calls let conversations feel face-to-face while saving travel time. Phone sessions or short live chat and text messaging can fit into a break at work, suit lower-bandwidth connections, or be easier when not wanting to be on camera. These options make it simpler to maintain regular sessions and keep momentum between meetings.
