About Kay
Kay Tarry is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years' experience. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or traumatised and with those coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship problems and life changes. She also supports people dealing with codependency and related difficulties such as communication and control issues.
Kay listens and asks direct questions to help people sort out what they want from therapy. She helps clients set clear, achievable goals and offers practical steps to begin making changes. Sessions include gentle challenge as well as reflection so people can do things differently in their day-to-day lives.
Her background includes supporting people who have experienced abuse, neglect or bullying, and those living with the longer-term effects of traumatic events. She has worked with a wide range of concerns over the past decade, including career stress, chronic illness, grief and BDSM, kink and other alternative sexual cultures.
Kay uses a pluralistic approach, blending several therapeutic methods rather than using one fixed model. That means sessions are shaped around what a person already knows and what they want to achieve. Practical skills from cognitive and behavioural approaches sit alongside work on attachment and emotions.
People can expect a straightforward, collaborative way of working. Kay aims to help people make manageable changes, learn new ways to respond, and reduce unhelpful patterns that keep repeating.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps towards them, which can help with persistent people-pleasing and codependent patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect how people relate now. It can help people understand why they find it hard to say no or why they lose themselves around others, and to build different ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how each approach might help. Decisions about which methods to use are made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and skills training to work remotely so progress is practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
