About Tara
Tara Hale is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, grief, anxiety, stress, addiction concerns, codependency, parenting pressures and problems with self-esteem. Tara also helps people who are coping with trauma, sleep difficulties, anger or life changes.
Her approach is flexible and direct. She uses person-centred ideas to listen and reflect what matters most. Psychodynamic thinking is used to look at recurring patterns. She can also work in a solution-focused way when short-term goals are needed.
Tara is interested in how the body and mind interact. She will notice when stress affects sleep, aches, or behaviour. In sessions she talks about how physical signs and emotions link together and what might change small daily routines to help.
Sessions can be short-term or longer term. Short options include blocks of 4, 6, 8 or 12 sessions. Tara says it is useful to review progress and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.
She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and works within their code of ethics. Before starting, she invites people to discuss scheduling needs, including early morning appointments and some later evening slots, so practical details suit the person.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and on clarifying what matters to the person. It helps with relationship strain, low self-worth and feeling stuck. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeated patterns and how past experiences influence current behaviour; it can help when similar problems keep reappearing in relationships or self-view. Solution-Focused Therapy aims at practical steps and short-term goals, useful for people wanting clearer next moves or a time-limited block of work.Finding the right mix is part of the first phase of work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then shape sessions together. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also makes it possible to keep continuity if life circumstances change, while the therapist and client check practical arrangements and adjust the pace to fit everyday routines.
