At times life can be hard to cope with and understanding our thoughts, emotions and actions can feel over whelming and all consuming. Life at times can feel rather heavy and embarking on a therapeutic journey together we can help lighten the load. Working together on your journey to help you understand your past experiences, how these experiences can shape the way we feel and act, how this affects you now. Being able to reflect and start to recognise our own emotions is the building foundation for emotional, mental and physical resilience.

1-1 sessions can be in-person or online and take place in my sensitively designed therapy space.
Hello, my name is Tarn. Making the decision to undertake counselling is a big step and if it is for you, then I can provide a safe and confidential space for us to work together. Counselling is both a time and a space for you. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming and we are mostly able to cope, carry on and even strive at times. However, life can be testing and the emotional responses are often felt negatively as anxiety and/or fear, anger or sadness. Negative emotions are a natural response to unfamiliar or demanding experiences but these are big emotions that we do not want; can struggle to overcome and can impact upon daily life.

I work in an experiential, compassionate, and open-minded way; offering both support and thoughtful challenge as you face what matters most. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, and supported enough to take risks when something important needs attention. I believe that it is through our experience of each other in therapy that something hidden and unique can be disclosed, and that is what I aim to find with you.

Psychotherapy will help you to make sense of emotional difficulties and relieve unaddressed and ongoing struggle. The process encourages you to reflect more deeply and can ultimately change unhelpful perspectives about yourself. It allows you to see what choices you have, including what needs to be accepted and what can be changed. Increased reflectivity leads to a stronger sense of self, deeper inner confidence and improved relationships. I work with clients who have experienced childhood trauma, adult trauma, relationship, sexuality and gender issues, abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress, and low self-esteem.

There is a quote by a lady called Anaïs Nin – “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom" – a quote in which I firmly believe and embodies how vulnerable people feel when considering contacting a Counsellor for the first time. It is always helpful to talk to someone, especially when that someone is trained to listen and help in a specialised and interactive way. A counsellor is not there to judge you, nor are they there to tell you what to do. Instead counselling provides a safe and respectful environment to express and explore your feelings and troubles.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly worn down by life’s challenges—perhaps navigating grief, anxiety, low self-worth, or a sense of disconnection. You long for clarity, emotional safety, and a space to make sense of what’s happening inside. You want to feel more grounded, more yourself. You may not have all the words yet, but something within you is calling for attention, for change. You’re seeking support that’s steady, compassionate, and attuned to your pace; so you can begin to reconnect with your inner worth and move toward meaningful growth.

FAQ - About Teletherapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
