About Tara

Tara Massie is a person-centered therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional counselling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low motivation, reduced self-esteem and depression, and she has supported clients through both childhood and more recent trauma. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns including coping with life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, family and communication problems, and issues connected to ageing and serious illness.

Tara approaches therapy by adapting conversations and plans to each individual, offering respectful, empathetic, and sensitive support. She encourages clients to take the first steps toward greater wellbeing and aims to help them reconnect with purpose and enjoyment in everyday life. Tara often recommends an initial commitment of four sessions to give therapy a fair opportunity to be helpful.

She is registered with the BACP - the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists - and conducts sessions with clients based in the UK. Tara offers availability on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with some Saturday and evening slots available on request. She works from her home practice and asks that clients join sessions from a quiet, undisturbed location.

Client-Centered Care Delivered Online

Client-centered therapy is Tara Massie's primary approach. This method focuses on the individual's own experience and encourages self-exploration through empathetic listening and nonjudgmental support. It is often helpful for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and adjustments after loss or life changes. The therapist’s role is to create a respectful, accepting space where the client’s priorities guide the work.

Within sessions, the emphasis is on collaboration. Tara works together with each person to identify goals, try different ways of working, and adjust the approach as needed. Finding the best therapeutic fit is part of the process, and the therapist helps clients weigh options based on their needs, preferences, and what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for scheduling and access. Tara provides support via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows clients to choose the format that suits their life and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments while engaging with a registered professional who focuses on person-centered support.
