Kay Tarry

Kay Tarry is a counsellor who supports people dealing with trauma, loss, anxiety and low self-esteem. She works with those facing life changes, relationship worries, stress and depression. Kay aims to help clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed find clearer direction and better ways to cope.

She listens, asks thoughtful questions and offers gentle challenges where helpful. Sessions focus on practical steps, goal setting and making changes that feel manageable. Kay explains things plainly and works at a pace set by each person.

Kay has ten years of experience working with people who have experienced abuse, neglect, bullying and other traumatic events. She also helps with issues such as body image, abandonment, attachment concerns and relationship communication problems. Work with cancer, chronic illness, caregiving stress and workplace worries is included in her practice.

Her approach is pluralistic, which means sessions are shaped around the individual rather than following one fixed method. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment approaches, attachment-based work and emotion-focused ways of thinking. Dialectical skills and client-centred listening are also part of her toolkit.

Kay holds the NCPS credential and practises in the United Kingdom. She uses that background to offer practical, down-to-earth support aimed at helping people regain confidence and move forward.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a chosen direction, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns of closeness and trust. It can help people understand emotional reactions and improve communication and relationship choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and may shift as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats before booking as these are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins during a lunch break or after work. Some formats can also be shorter for practical check-ins or use audio only when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients adapt therapeutic tools so they work well in an online setting.
