About Tara
Tara Massie is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Tara also supports individuals facing issues such as abandonment, chronic illness, caregiver stress and the impact of trauma.
She uses a client-centred approach that prioritises the person's own views and pace. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the client and encouraging personal choices about next steps. Conversations can cover practical coping strategies as well as how feelings affect everyday life.
Tara has worked with people affected by ageing and geriatric concerns, cancer, HIV/AIDS and communication or control issues. She also addresses family problems, guilt and forgiveness, and the emotional effects of natural or human-caused disasters. Her background includes supporting those with autism and co-morbidity alongside physical illness or chronic pain.
Her method favours discussion that helps individuals notice patterns and decide on changes they want to try. Tara asks clients to consider a set of sessions to see how counselling feels and what shifts occur. She is regulated by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP).
Sessions are offered in English and she does not currently accept international clients. Before booking, people should confirm the current session formats and scheduling options directly through the service.
Client-centred work online and what it looks like
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and following the pace you set. The counsellor listens, reflects back what you say and helps you make decisions about what to try next. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes because it keeps the work focused on what matters to you.Working together, the therapist will discuss different ways of approaching your concerns and agree what feels most useful. That means exploring how sessions feel, adjusting the focus and checking progress as you go. The aim is a collaborative process where you help shape goals and the steps to reach them.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make counselling easier to fit around study, work or caring responsibilities. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and help you schedule sessions at times that suit daily life. Registered or accredited professionals can also suggest practical adjustments if you prefer less time on camera or a quicker phone-based check-in depending on your needs.
