About Tara
Tara Massie is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) with seven years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and depression, and supports those coping with life changes. Sessions focus on practical conversation and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Tara uses a client‑centred approach that puts the person's concerns at the heart of each meeting. She listens for what matters most and follows the client's pace when exploring difficult feelings. This makes space for people to talk through loss, changes in motivation, and the effects of past trauma.
Her background includes work with a wide range of issues such as abandonment, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, cancer, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of serious health conditions. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, domestic violence, family difficulties, guilt, shame and forgiveness.
Tara is based in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. She notes that her practice is governed by English law and follows BACP standards. She offers a clear way to start: complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial appointment to see how the sessions feel.
Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, clients are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling to make sure they meet practical needs.
How Client‑Centred Work Fits Online
Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what someone says and adjusting to their pace. It helps with issues like anxiety, low self‑esteem, grief and the emotional effects of trauma by allowing clients to lead the conversation and name what matters most.The approach is straightforward in online sessions: the counsellor stays attentive and responsive while the client brings the topics they want to address. That collaborative way of working helps people decide which themes to focus on and how many sessions to try.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Tara will discuss how Client‑Centred Therapy might help and will collaborate with the client on any adjustments or additional techniques that suit their goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check‑ins when time is limited and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help sessions slot into everyday life without changing the therapeutic focus.
