About Tara
Tara Hale helps people facing relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, addiction and low self‑esteem. She supports those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, parenting pressures and career worries. Tara is a BACP counsellor with seven years of practical experience in the UK.
She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can find clear next steps. Tara works in short or longer blocks of counselling, often agreeing a set of sessions to begin with and reviewing progress as therapy continues.
Background and approach
Sessions are available at varying times during the day, and scheduling is arranged before work starts so people can fit therapy into busy lives. She pays attention to how stress affects the body as well as the mind, and notices patterns that link physical symptoms and emotional strain. Her style is collaborative and down to earth.
Conversations focus on what matters now, and on small changes that reduce pressure and improve daily functioning. Tara uses a mixture of approaches rather than one fixed model, so work can be adjusted to each person’s needs and goals.
In practice she draws on person‑centred work to create an accepting space, psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns, and solution‑focused steps to set short term goals. This combination helps with relationship issues, feelings of abandonment, codependency, guilt and problems with communication.
People looking for practical support around addiction, midlife questions, intimacy difficulties or coping with loss can expect straightforward conversation and a focus on usable strategies. Tara aims to help people leave sessions with clearer choices and a calmer sense of direction.

Approaches Tara lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Psychodynamic ideas look for repeating patterns in feelings and behaviour that can affect current relationships and self‑image. Exploring these patterns can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and how to try different responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist and client review how each way of working feels and what helps most, then adapt the plan to match goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face to face conversation when more connection is wanted. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text‑based messaging works well for brief check‑ins, written reflection or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caring responsibilities and daily routines.
