Individual Therapy
When the heart feels torn
A place to find your way
When you feel stuck
Life can feel very lonely, confusing, stressful or depressing at times — I have been there, and I know finding the right support can determine how well we emerge from such times.
Often, these periods are marked by questions that refuse to settle. You may find yourself returning to the same thoughts again and again — unsure what the right thing to do is, or how to move forward without losing something important within yourself or in your relationships.
At other times, what you are carrying can feel overwhelming. A loss, strain in a close relationship, or a major change in life can quietly bring everything into question.
When this happens, it can be difficult to think clearly while holding it all on your own. Individual therapy offers a steady space to slow things down, reflect honestly on what is unfolding within you and around you, and begin finding a way forward with greater clarity and confidence.
Does this feel familiar?
People often seek individual therapy when they are facing difficult questions in their relationships, navigating challenging life changes, or noticing patterns within themselves that they want to understand and shift.
You may recognize your own experience in some of the situations below.
In your relationship …
Wondering whether to stay in or leave a relationship or marriage
Feeling strongly attracted to someone outside your relationship and unsure what it means or what to do about it
Finding it difficult to move forward after a breakup or divorce
Struggling to trust or open up in relationships after infidelity, betrayal, or emotional abuse
Feeling unhappy or emotionally unfulfilled in your relationship, while your partner is not currently open to couples therapy. If at a later time, they change their mind, you could also consider couples therapy.
In life changes …
- Facing parenting challenges and wanting to strengthen your relationship with your children as they grow
- Coping with a serious health issue affecting you or someone close to you
- Navigating a major life transition such as parenthood, an empty nest, menopause, or the loss of a loved one
Within yourself…
- Finding strong emotions such as anger or resentment difficult to manage
- Giving a great deal in relationships but often feeling hurt, overlooked, or disappointed
- Noticing a pattern of people-pleasing and wanting to become more honest and grounded in yourself
- Finding family relationships difficult and wanting support in setting healthier boundaries
Working together
My therapy style is friendly, unhurried, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a space where you can speak openly and reflect honestly on what you are experiencing.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I tailor the work to your unique situation, personality, and pace. Our conversations draw on approaches such as mindfulness-based self-inquiry, Internal Family Systems, non-violent communication, and inner-child work — always in a way that feels relevant and useful to you rather than technical or formulaic.
With a background in research and systems thinking, I look not only at the immediate issue you are facing but also at the wider context of your life — your personal history, family dynamics, relationships, and the experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and the world.
At the heart of this work is helping you reconnect with your own inner clarity. Many wisdom traditions speak of a deeper centre within us — what yogic philosophy calls the Heart Centre (Anahata Chakra) — a place of insight, compassion, and steadiness from which difficult decisions often become clearer.
My aim is not to make you dependent on therapy, but to help you become more confident and independent in navigating life and relationships. Through our work together you gain the insights and practical tools needed to move forward with steadiness and self-trust.
You can learn more about me on the About page.
What to expect
Sessions take place online and usually happen once a week. Each session lasts 50-minutes, giving us enough space to explore what you are facing while keeping the work focused and purposeful.
We will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Some people come with a specific dilemma or decision they want to think through, while others are trying to understand patterns in their relationships or emotional responses.
I may occasionally suggest reflective practices such as mindfulness exercises, meditation, journaling, or self-reflection between sessions— to help deepen the insights emerging in therapy and support change in everyday life.
Many people find that even a relatively short period of focused work can bring meaningful clarity. My aim is to help you develop the insight, confidence, and practical tools needed to navigate life and relationships more independently.
If you would like to work together, you are welcome to book a session.
I had the privilege of working with Tara as my therapist, and I can honestly say that it has been a transformative experience. When I first started therapy, I was struggling with a myriad of issues in my personal life, particularly in my marriage. I was facing dilemmas and conflicts that seemed insurmountable, and I felt lost and overwhelmed. Tara's approach to therapy was unlike anything I had experienced before. She created a safe and non-judgmental space for me to explore my thoughts and feelings. Her empathetic and compassionate nature made it easy for me to open up and share my deepest concerns.
One of the most valuable aspects of Tara's therapy was her ability to help me gain clarity. She guided me through a process of introspection and self-discovery, allowing me to better understand the root causes of my dilemmas. With her support, I was able to identify my values, beliefs, and priorities, which ultimately led to more informed decision-making. Tara's insights and guidance were invaluable as I navigated complex issues related to my marriage and personal growth. Her wisdom and expertise helped me see things from different perspectives and challenged me to consider alternative solutions. She encouraged me to explore my emotions and provided tools and strategies to manage them effectively.
Throughout our sessions, Tara exhibited a rare blend of professionalism and genuine care. She was always present, actively listening, and offering constructive feedback. Her ability to ask thought-provoking questions encouraged deep self-reflection, and her unwavering support gave me the confidence to face my challenges head-on. Under Tara's guidance, I have made significant progress in resolving the dilemmas I faced. I feel more confident, self-aware, and equipped to handle life's complexities. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance and support in their personal journey. Thank you, Tara, for being an exceptional therapist and for helping me find clarity and peace in my life.
Light at the end of the tunnel does exist. My life had fallen apart and nothing made me feel better than my two sessions with Tara. She has a way of connecting with you, the calm in her voice, her mellow tone, make you feel at home & at ease. Tara made me see things with a certain perspective — I could finally come to terms with my divorce & move on with a lighter heart.
I deeply felt I should contact Tara when I came across her website. When I messaged her, my words were – I am stuck, can you help move me? Her answer came – yes. And move me, she did! My heart was broken. It was filled with pain. Nothing nice came out from it - only hurt and self-pity. I knew I was stuck and nothing was working as the emotional-setbacks that my heart had borne from the past were too traumatic for me to get over, on my own. They haunted me especially in the nights – I had even lost sleep.
Tara’s work is based in true inspiration drawn from her own life journey. It’s pure as her presence. She poured compassion like a healing balm over my aching heart in the sessions along with giving me courage and self conviction to want to get up and start walking again, in life. She was there for me whenever I needed her. I am very grateful!
