About Tara
Tara Massie is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people facing major life changes who feel unsure what comes next.
She uses a client-centred approach that focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Tara aims to help people talk through what matters to them and to notice practical steps they can try between meetings.
Her work has included supporting people coping with abandonment, ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, cancer, chronic illness, pain and disability. She has also worked with people affected by caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and the after-effects of domestic violence and other trauma.
Tara has experience with concerns such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, and issues linked to HIV/AIDS. She describes therapy as a place to explore loss of purpose, motivation or a sense of self, and to rebuild everyday routines that feel manageable.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening, reflecting and following what matters to the person. In practice this means the counsellor offers open, non-directive conversation and helps the client clarify feelings and priorities. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief and questions about life purpose.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Tara will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt the way sessions are run as those needs become clearer. The aim is to find a way of working that feels manageable and relevant to the person's everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to fit short check-ins into a busy week, reduce travel time, or meet from quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats to help sessions slot into daily routines; confirm which formats are offered when you schedule.
