Kay Tarry

Kay Tarry, NCPS, helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or traumatised find clearer ways forward. She supports those coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life changes. She also works with people facing relationship strains, career stress, anger and issues around body image and sexuality.

She listens, asks questions and gently challenges unhelpful patterns so clients can set practical goals. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed protocol. That means the work is shaped around what a client already knows and can do.

Over the past 10 years Kay has focused on supporting people who have experienced abuse, neglect or bullying, and those recovering from traumatic events. She combines a range of therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs at different stages of their journey.

Her practice pays attention to attachment patterns, how people relate to others, and the skills needed to manage strong emotions. Clients can expect a mix of talking, reflection and practical techniques aimed at improving day-to-day coping.

Kay also offers coaching-style support for people wanting clearer action plans for work, relationships or major life transitions. Her aim is to help people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable steps toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation problems.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. It is useful when trust, communication and closeness in relationships feel difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue therapy from different locations when circumstances change.
