I cannot overstate how transformational Tara has been on the direction of my life. For reference - at various points in the past, I've had sessions with other therapists to help with different topics, but often came away frustrated that the sessions were passive / meandered, and never seemed to get to the core of helping me to navigate to a stronger path. With Tara, this was immediately and very obviously different. The sessions were compassionate, open, safe about every topic, and accepting. Tara was attentive and perceptive, even if I myself was tip-toeing around a topic. When needed - she directly challenged any presumptions and behaviours that I had built up over the years, and also established guardrails against unhealthy / unhelpful behaviours going forward. She put in a lot of work outside of the face-to-face session (summary notes, homework, pre-reading homework that I'd submitted etc), so I absolutely felt the value come out of each session. The homework was not always easy, and sometimes made me have to face directly into different things that I was having to work through, but consistently prioritising and doing her homework was a key component of my journey to a better place. I can't thank you enough, Tara.

HTT (Tara) has been enormously helpful to me. I first consulted her more than three years ago. I was in an unhappy state with the world seeming to close in on me. Progressively she has put me back on an even keel. Because of Tara I see the future as being bright. A big thank you to her

Tara created a warm, open and safe therapy space. The intervention was short but incredibly helpful. I really appreciated that sessions felt structured, with lots of tools and helpful exercises, but they were also tailored to me and what I wanted to work on. Truly person centred & I can’t recommend Tara highly enough.

wish I'd found Tara sooner! I waited several months before writing this review because I wanted to be certain the positive changes would last, and I'm delighted to say they absolutely have. I've tried other forms of therapy in the past, but nothing comes close to what I experienced with Tara. What I particularly loved was how therapy had such a clear progression. I always knew where we were heading and what we were working towards. Tara taught me practical skills to manage anxiety that I still use daily. I'm thrilled to say that I've met all the goals we set out at the beginning of our work together. The combination of different therapeutic approaches created something truly powerful and effective. If you're considering therapy, especially if you've tried other approaches that haven't quite worked, I cannot recommend Tara highly enough. She has genuinely changed my life for the better. Thank you, Tara!

I cannot thank Tara enough for the support and guidance she provided during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Her compassionate, understanding approach helped me untangle years of anxiety and find a sense of calm I never thought possible. Each session felt like a safe space where I could truly open up and be heard. I’m now living with a confidence and clarity I’d only dreamed of before—highly recommended!

I worked with Tara for 6 months, and I found her to be supportive, encouraging and warm. When I started treatment I had specific goals I wanted to achieve, and we met them all. She's been really clear that I need to maintain these changes, and I feel confident that I know how to. The sessions with Tara were an investment in myself, and my future and I am very happy with what I have learnt. Thank you

Thank you Tara, for your excellent clinical supervision skills. Your skills and experience have helped me formulate, shape, and develop my own clinical practice. Very much appreciated!
