I would love to meet you, either in person or online.
I offer a space where you can meet yourself with kindness and curiosity. Many of us carry experiences of shame, self-judgement, grief, or a general sense of dissatisfaction. At the same time, there is often a deep longing to live a fulfilling and authentic life, and to experience meaningful connection with others. In my practice, I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. Others come to counselling with a desire to better understand themselves and to grow into a fuller, more aligned version of who they are. Whatever brings you here, you are welcome.

Something needs to change; emotions spiral, conflicts repeat, and relationships strain no matter how hard you try to fix things. Maybe your teen is shutting down or acting out, your family feels constantly on edge, or you’re a young adult stuck between who you’re expected to be and who you actually are. Conversations turn into arguments, trust feels fragile, and you don’t know how to move forwards. I work with adolescents, young adults, and families who feel stuck in these painful patterns and want real relief…Coping, connection, clarity, and a way forward.

Many people seek therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why they keep repeating the same patterns. My role isn't to judge or "fix" you, but to help you better understand yourself so you can move forward with greater awareness and choice. I work with adults and older adolescents experiencing eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, substance use, relationship and parenting challenges, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences. Together, we'll work to better understand what has brought you to this point and explore new ways of moving forward.

Hello! I'm Tara, a Registered Counsellor practicing in Newlands, CT. Many of the people I work with are capable adults or teens who look like they’re coping, but internally feel anxious, stuck, or worn down. My services may be a good fit if you are struggling to manage stress, anxiety, trauma responses, chronic pain, or life difficulty and could do with some support to live fully and feel like yourself again. Counselling with me is warm, down to earth and collaborative. We don’t only talk about what’s difficult - we explore how your nervous system has learned to respond, why some patterns persist, and what you can do to shift them.

Hello and welcome — I’m glad you’re here. My work often involves supporting people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected. You may be experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, or the impact of past experiences that continue to shape how you feel and respond.

All parents want the best for their children. However, you or your child may sometimes experience difficult situations, such as trauma, adjustments, and losses. Children may then need extra emotional support to work through their emotions. A change in the child's behaviour will be an indication that he or she needs extra help. Children may either have more energy and act out, or they may have less energy and become withdrawn, wanting to isolate themselves from society. In both of these cases, help is available for your child. Marie-Louise van Heerden is a social worker (B.SW) with a master's degree in play-based intervention (M.SW).

If you are feeling unable to cope, or are struggling to break out of old habits or self-defeating patterns, you don't have to navigate the journey to well-being alone. Together, we can find and integrate the tools you need to reconnect with a valued life, and to build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. I am well equipped to help individuals with a variety of conditions including mood disorders, eating disorders, personality disorders, and the autism spectrum; however, you do not need a diagnosis to need support. We all get stuck in unhelpful ways of thinking and doing; it's part of being human.

Kalk Bay 7975
I offer face-to-face sessions at my practice in Kalk Bay.
I believe the most valuable part of a counselling relationship is the relationship. Within the space of the counselling relationship, you can express thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. You can learn about the ways you relate to other people in your life, how you defend yourself from difficult feelings, and practice relating in different ways. The counselling relationship can also be a playful one of self-discovery. I offer clients a compassionate witness and a curious mind to explore alongside you and/or your child, rather than diagnosis.

Perhaps you feel like you're managing on the outside, but inside you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. You might want to understand your thoughts and emotions better, find ways to cope more effectively, and feel more stable in your day-to-day life.

Your goal might not be to have everything figured out yet, but it's to feel more balanced, more in control of your emotions, and better equipped to face life's challenges with confidence and self-compassion.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
