Hello, my name is Tara, and I am the founder of Sunray Counselling and Psychotherapy. Thanks for clicking on my profile. I hope you find what you need here. When was the last time that you felt truly heard, valued, and respected by another person? You don't have to carry this alone. I can help you move forward with understanding your feelings, thoughts, and emotions by offering in-person. online or telephone counselling sessions in York and across the UK. I'm an Accredited Registrant with the NCPS and a Registered Member of the BACP . To find out more about me and how we can work together, please take a look at my website.
I work with a wide range of people aged 18+ and will support you to find direction with whatever is weighing heavy on you. Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ clients are welcomed and valued within my practice. I have specialist training in pre-and-post bereavement/grief therapy and work with many common life issues.
If you're ready to talk, I'm ready to listen. It's a big decision to start therapy, so I offer a free 15 minute introductory phone call to help you decide if I am the right therapist for you.

I trained as a person-centred counsellor but I integrate several different approaches into my practice including gently touching on CBT, Gestalt Therapy, and Transactional Analysis. We will also look at your childhood and how those early experiences affect you in the present. I won't tell you how to think or act, but together we will explore your thoughts and feelings.
