About Tara Massie
Tara’s approach is grounded in person-centred principles that prioritise respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's unique needs, offering a listening space where clients can explore feelings, reconnect with a sense of purpose, and rebuild everyday enjoyment. Tara aims to empower people to take the steps toward a more fulfilling life while supporting them through difficult emotions such as guilt, shame, and loss.
She provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and she encourages people to consider an initial block of sessions - for example a four-session commitment - as a helpful way to begin work together. Tara is regulated by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with clients based outside the United Kingdom.

Client-Centred Care Delivered Online
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. In this approach the therapist listens without judgement, reflects back what is heard, and supports the client to explore feelings and make personal choices. It is often useful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, depression, and adapting to life changes.
Alongside this core approach Tara emphasises collaborative treatment planning and active listening. She works with clients to identify immediate concerns and longer-term goals, then adapts the pace and focus of sessions to what each person needs. This collaborative stance helps clients feel heard and involved in decisions about their care.
Online therapy with registered professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit work, family, and mobility needs. These options make it easier to keep consistency in therapy, access support from home, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics.
