Kay Tarry

Kay Tarry, NCPS, supports people dealing with anger alongside anxiety, depression, stress and relationship strain. She helps clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed or traumatised to work towards clearer goals and better day-to-day coping. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts and feelings, setting achievable steps, and putting past hurts behind you so life can feel more manageable.

Kay listens and asks questions to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She offers gentle challenges and practical tasks to try between sessions. Her approach is flexible and based on what each person needs that week rather than a fixed method.

Over the past 10 years she has worked mainly with people who have experienced abuse, neglect or bullying and with those struggling with low self-esteem and anxiety. That background informs how she supports clients through painful memories and strong emotions like anger.

She uses a pluralistic way of working, blending different therapy ideas to suit the person in front of her. This means sessions can include talking, practical exercises and behavioural steps depending on the goal.

Practical steps and real-life tasks are commonly agreed together so progress is tracked. Kay helps people name what matters most to them and then breaks goals into small, doable actions. This keeps work focused and easier to fit into busy lives.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a life that matters to you, which can help with anger, anxiety and life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and reduce reactivity when old wounds get triggered.

Finding the right approach is usually collaborative. Kay will work with each person to pick or blend methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means the style can shift as progress is made or needs change.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family, work or health demands. It also lets people choose quieter or lower-bandwidth ways to check in, try short focused reviews between full sessions, and practise new skills in everyday settings without extra travel.
