Kay Tarry, NCPS

Kay Tarry works with people who know they want change but may not yet know how to get there. She listens closely, asks thoughtful questions and offers gentle challenges to help clients explore their thoughts and feelings, set realistic goals and move forward from painful experiences. Drawing on a decade of practice, she focuses on helping those who feel stuck, overwhelmed or traumatised to build better coping, improve wellbeing and create the life they want.

Her background includes supporting people who have experienced abuse, neglect, bullying or other traumatic events, and she also works with those facing low self-esteem, low confidence and anxiety. Kay uses a pluralistic approach that tailors each session to the individual's needs rather than relying on a single method. She blends multiple therapeutic theories to complement the skills, knowledge and expertise clients already bring to their lives.

Kay holds the NCPS credential and brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice, offering a compassionate, flexible way to address trauma, emotional distress and practical life challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and adjusting to life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early connections, exploring how those dynamics affect current bonds and emotional responses - it can support work on grief, relationship difficulties and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering empathetic, non-directive support that helps build self-esteem, confidence and clarity about personal goals.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Kay collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques as therapy progresses to ensure sessions remain relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varied schedules. For many people, remote sessions increase accessibility and continuity of care while allowing registered professionals to deliver focused, person-centred support.
