Hello! I'm Tara, a Registered Counsellor practicing in Newlands, CT.  My counselling approach is warm, down to earth and collaborative. If you are struggling to manage chronic pain, stress, anxiety, or life difficulty and could do with some support to live fully and feel like yourself again, then my sessions may be a good fit.
I have a special interest in supporting clients with chronic pain conditions, and those looking for practical ways to learn self regulation and stress reduction. I work with a holistic approach that includes cognitive, somatic and emotional processing.

 Our sessions allow you to unpack and understand your experience, creating shifts that extend beyond the counselling room into your daily life. We will work through your counselling goals, and explore how your nervous system has learned to respond to certain experiences, why some patterns persist, and what you can do to shift them.  My aim is for you to leave sessions feeling heard and equipped. 
I am certified in TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), a body-based method that harnesses the neurogenic tremor mechanism in the body to assist with trauma and stress release without requiring detailed retelling of difficult experiences. I also offer Equine Assisted Counselling with horses. Sessions are available at my practice in Newlands.
If we feel like a good fit, please feel welcome to reach out and book a session!
