She believes that creating a warm, relaxed, non-judgemental, and confidential space during counselling sessions is vital. Through a collaborative and strength-based approach Tara’s intention is to help her clients move forward, find solutions, gain new perspectives, and find inner peace. She offers tools, coping strategies and sometimes suggests exercises outside of sessions to support her clients in their healing. Her aim is to equip her clients with long term strategies that they can use in various situations.
