Kay Tarry , NCPS

Kay Tarry helps people who arrive at therapy with a clear aim as well as those who simply know they want life to feel different. She works with clients to explore thoughts and emotions, offering careful listening, thoughtful questions, gentle challenges, and practical goal-setting to support gradual, meaningful change.

Over the past 10 years Kay has focused on guiding people out of feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or traumatised toward improved coping, greater wellbeing, and a clearer sense of direction. Her clinical background includes supporting people affected by past abuse, neglect and bullying, and she also works with those experiencing low self-esteem, low confidence, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties and other life stresses.

Kay practices in a pluralistic way, adapting each session to the individual rather than applying a single method to everyone. She blends techniques from different therapeutic traditions to align with a person’s existing strengths, knowledge and life context. She holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional qualification in her field, and uses that training to inform flexible, person-focused work.

Kay is experienced in working with attachment-related concerns, trauma and complex emotional issues, and she aims to collaborate with clients to identify practical steps forward. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take actions that connect with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and adjusting to life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust. It can help with abandonment concerns, attachment issues and relationship difficulties by exploring relational needs and building healthier connection strategies.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the process, offering empathy and respect so clients can access their own insight and strengths. It supports self-esteem, confidence and personal growth by following the client’s agenda rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself - Kay will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments, maintain continuity during busy periods or when mobility is limited, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel.
